I wish people would stop trying to make movies out of good literature.

Three movies that were at last as good, if not better, as their books ...

Gone With the Wind
Catch-22
In Harm’s Way

Add To Kill A Mockingbird as a great movie translation of a great book.

When the script writers turn good literature into their own little nuances, then the screenplay turns to sh!%.Good literature should stand on "its" own and be portrayed as such in film. If not, the writers should come up with their own original ideas for a change.

I’m not familiar with “In Harm’s Way,” but the other two were not great literature. They were commercial, popular, whatever you want to call them, but not literary. I agree that they made great movies.
