THE COLDEST WINTER EVER

This book would make a great movie, and it is a true story!

The Bible.....jk. Well there have been some books that were already made into ovies, but the movies were WAAYY different than the books. Like "Jurassic Park" and "White Fang." Not to mention the books turned Movie that were then remade like 30 times since the conception of moving pictures. Like "Peter Pan" and lets not forget the Mad Max: Beyond the Thunderdome-esque continuation of "Peter Pan" in "Hook." I Swear that movie was done by the same guy. I for the most part despise remakes.  Here's two to make into movies: "The one that got away" you about that SAS dude in the Gulf War whose team got captured but he escaped to I think Iran or Saudi Arabia and the next Movie would be a documnetary from Erwin Rommel's log of his WWI combat actions "Infantry Attacks." This book was used by the German Army in post WWI as a text Book-Infantry manual. It should show how he was pretty well one of the inventors of modern Spec Ops warfare.

We've all read books or stories that would make great movies, but nobody has bothered with them yet. I personally think the entire Wheel of Time Series by the late Robert Jordan would make an excellent epic movie or trilogy.

Late Robert Jordan?? Did I miss something? I guess that means the wheel of Time series will never be completed :(

I would like to see any of the Lee Child or Vince Flynn books made into movies

Based on a true story. Very good book but a few parts seem a little far fetched.

Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab(SAS). Iraq 1990.His account of his units battle against the elements and trying to evade capture. He then gives an account of his capture and subsequent torture.

Claimed to be factual..........................but many disbelieve his account. Nevertheless it would make a good film.

what part is questionable?  His torture or what they went through before the capture?  What I have seen on the history channel about them was pretty interesting

None, they are never as good as the book.

 

 

I am going to have to disagree with you on that 1.  OK OK most book to movie deals just plain old suck,  but there are a few diamonds in the ruff example The GREEN MILE went word for word from the book it just didnt go into some of the character build ups as much as the book did but the basic story was straight on, same with WE WERE SOLDIERS ok so more then a few OK so every Steven King book made into a movie that I have watched has been point on.  I am not much of a reader so I haven't read to many books that were made into movies OH another The DEER HUNTER

 

DAMMIT can we fix the quote glitch here?

Try this book,The Real Bravo Two Zero, by Michael Asher. A lot of McNab`s accounts, in his book, were never mentioned in his debriefing.

Still make a good film though.

I think the Catcher in the Rye would make a great movie.

If you guys get the chance the Presidential Agent Novels by W.E.B. Griffin are excellent. They would also make really good movies.

I'd like to see the two W.E.B. Griffin series, Badge of Honor and Men of War, made into movies.  They could do a series like Band of Brothers on HBO.
