5: The Perks of Being A Wallflower
For me, this was probably the most true to book adaptation of the ones in this list, and I love both the book and the movie, but for some reason (that escapes even me) i can't bring myself to rank it higher. Maybe it's because I like a bit of 'creative license' or whatever when it comes to book adaptations, or maybe it's because this is the book/film that makes me break down into a mess of tears each time I read/watch it? Either way I think this is an amazing adaptation, and I highly recommend both book and movie to everyone, because they are both spectacular!
4: I Am Number Four
I have no idea why I love this movie so much, but I really do. I was so happy that this got turned into a film and I think that might be why I love it so much? Maybe? Whatever the reason the book and film both make me happy. I think Alex Pettyfer plays a wonderful Number Four and I just really love getting lost in this story, whether it be by page or screen. I've never really been into books about aliens, but this is one of the few that really stole my heart. It might not be the best in the world, but it's one of the books (and one of the films) that just makes me really happy. And that's all I want from it.
3: The Hunger Games
Now before I get into this I just want to say that the whole part about Peeta's leg being changed for the film still really annoys me, but I understand why they did it. Okay, now that's covered...I really love the adaptation of the Hunger Games and I cannot wait for Catching Fire to be released!! I adore this series, and the film made the world so real for me that I don't really care about any changes they've made (depending on what they do with Catching Fire and Mockingjay...). I love the world Suzanne Collins made and seeing that comes to life makes me really happy.
2: City Of Bones
Omg I really, really, really LOVED the film. SO MUCH LOVE. Even the parts they changed from the book (like the whole Simon/rat/vampires scene) I loved, because as much as I love the book (and believe me that is A LOT) I thought the changes made the film flow much better, and made the film more realistic...you know as realistic as a film about Shadowhunters, Demons, and Downworlders can be... I love this book more than most things, and I can tell that as soon as I get my hands on the DVD of this film it will be constantly on repeat. (Also I'm going to see it again next week, so I'm a very happy Meghan). This is just easily one of my favourite things to happen as far as book to movie adaptations goes and I'm really excited to see what they do with City of Ashes and co.
1: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Now I love all the Harry Potter films, I don't care. Anything HP related I love, and I know a lot was changed/missing in the films but I'm fine with that because I realised a long time ago that for me they could just be two separate things. The books and the movies. Since then I've loved the films even more. For me the two Deathly Hallows films were the best adaptations in the series, possibly because they were the most beautifully shot, or because the build up to the battle was brilliant, or just because I knew it was ending and it made me sad and therefore more attached? Whatever the reason I thought they were outstanding. I loved everything about them. I wish I could just put all the HP films on here because I honestly love them all to death, but DH definitely wins best adaptation in my eyes.
