BOOKS MADE INTO MOVIES AUGUST 2023

Books as a source material for movies, successful or not (the movies, that is). In fact, nominations for movies or TV/streaming series that did not fulfill the promise of the books they were based on could find a place here as well. Or vice versa, of course: movies or TV that for one reason or another were better than the book. Also, this might be the place to consider filmed versions of plays & musicals or even operas (?).

I loved the movie The Pride of the Yankees which was a bio on Lou Gehrig. I want to highly recommend Jonathan Eig's book - Luckiest Man - The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig. Definitely want to re-watch the movie!
