Top Ten Best / Worst Movie Adaptation

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

Hi!  I have to point out that I had a discussion post about this topic a while ago (you can find it here).  I'll try to expand on my previous choices, also this list includes only the movies for which I've read the book AND seen the movie.

BEST

The Hunger Games - It had a few differences (they always do!), but it was very similar to the books and SO good.

New Moon - I actually liked all the movies in the Twilight Saga with the exception of book #1.

Pride and Prejudice - the PBS version with Colin Firth is by favorite :)

Eat Pray Love - Pretty close to the real thing and besides I love Julia Roberts.

Harry Potter series - Again, there are some differences (some major), BUT I was amazed on how it capture the essence of the characters and the setting.  These characters and places came to life on the scree, just as I imagined them to be when I read the books.

WORST

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lighting Thief - I don't even know where to start on this one, they butchered this movie so bad... I promise that books are really good.

The Spiderwick Chronicles - Not sure they read the same book that I did...

A Walk to Remember - This was my first Nicholas Sparks' read and I cried by eyes out, so good and yet the movie was, hmm, not good.

Beastly - This movie was not horrible, but it really was almost nothing like the book though. 

Twilight - NOT like the book!  It got me reading the series, so I guess it accomplished its purpose. 

I watch a lot of movies, but I haven't read all the books they're based on, such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Gone with the Wind, Warm Bodies, Silver Lining Playbook, and so on...

This week's features are Aditi, Chrystina and Jess @ Book Liaison and @Kinx's Book Nook this week's question is:

When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?

Before I discovered Young Adult (thanks to the Harry Potter and the Twilight series!), I read a lot of historical romance and once in a while I still do.  Now, for the most part, I read YA - romance, dystopian, paranormal, mysteries, thrillers, contemporary, fantasy, historical,  etc.  I do try to keep an open mind and look at the story as a whole, not just its genre.

Genres that I don't particularly love to read are biographies, and horror.  When  a co-worker suggested me to read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, I was a little hesitant; after all this is sort of an autobiography.  Although it took me a while to get invested in the story I ended up loving this book.  

What about you?  Do you step out of your comfort zone once in a while?
