Poll: Film Adaptations - The Second Round
The question is “Which film is as great or good as the classic source they are adapted from?”
Reviving a great idea for a poll by Nastasia that was started as Film Adaptations - The Second Round , but never completed and left inactive since 2016 and at only 23 selections. Her description is “This list includes great film adaptations that just weren't lucky enough to get the place in the first list,” (Live Poll: The movies that are as good as the original books?), “because there are so many good movies made from the books and the criteria were a bit harsh. Here we can lower our standards a bit - overall rating of the movie may go down to the number 7, but no less, please!”
I’ll fill up the rest because I have a good library of unabridged classic hardcover books by Reader’s Digest, paperback books I bought on my own, and finally classic literature that I know about but don’t have a copy of. So I repeat, “The question is “Which film is as great or good as the classic source they are adapted from?””
To discuss this list, go to this library, and keep your voice down.
