LJ Idol Presents:

I might be in the minority here, but I generally avoid movie adaptations of books. That said, BBC did a mini-series version of "Pride and Prejudice" that followed the book closely. Its version of Mr. Darcy didn't make me swoon, but it did follow the book.

Of course, I did adore "To Kill a Mockingbird," and when I reread the book years after seeing the movie adaptation, I couldn't help but think that Gregory Peck epitomized Atticus Finch. Obviously, the book has stuck with me over the years, since our soon to be tripod kitten is named after him.

While the film adaptation has very little to do with the book (much to my daughter's chagrin), I do like both versions of 'How to Train Your Dragon.'
