Well, it's the best movie I've ever seen, IMO. It was only said "best movie based on a book," and that doesn't equate to a movie better than the book or a comparidon of the two. I'm not much of a reader. But for that logic, I'd say... LOTR is a definite choice. So are the Roald Dahl movies. Those movies rock, especially Willy Wonka.

AH. 1931 Frankenstein. Total rewriting, but fantastic movie. The book's my second favorite novel.

Aye. I get what you're going for now.

I wish The 1994 Frankenstein was as good as the book... It's the most accurate to the book, but it felt more like a drama than a horror film.

I was gonna make a Millionaire reference.

Lmao I don't like the writing style precisely because it's so boring. The storytelling, on the other hand, is brilliant and I have the vaguest feeling your drunk ass is confusing the two.

No, I think we're talking about the same thing. Like I said, Tolkien's writing style is almost like Shakespeare (or old school English talky talk) kind of dumbed down so that it's readable to modern people, and that does kind of cheapen it, since it makes the prose into a kind of stereotype, but it still works in the context of the book.
