*blink* They made "Breakfast of Champions" into a movie? How the hell did they manage that? *boggles at this*

Bad movies that started as great books (and some might disagree here that they are bad movies)

A Clockwork Orange
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Jurrasic Park

[Wrong Element]

The World According to Garp was not a successful film.

Anything by Michael Crichton exept The Andromeda Strain.

Directing this solely at "A Clockwork Orange" I agree. The movie missed the whole point of the book, not the least of which was that the protagonist was only 15.

[RosevilleCAguy]

Mini series was better than the Sting movie...........
but not great.

But the movie had Sean Young...........

 

[Calamity Jane]

I wouldn't say 'Anything Crichton'... The 13th Warrior wasn't a bad movie of Eaters of the Dead.

The Pelican Brief... actually, anything Grisham except A Time To Kill

Starship Troopers - why the nazi uniforms
