    I've seen other films, which were originally books, and read the books too. Some of them were really good. I recommend them, film and book.

    I'm a bit of a tease but how about I drip feed them one at a time?

    Jaws - One of my favourite movies ever and the book was great too, but Hooper gets eaten by the shark before Quint.

    Peter Benchley. He also wrote The Deep which came out just after Jaws as a movie, also starred Robert Shaw.

    I once read the Dukes of Hazard book. Well it was more of an annual than a book but it was good all the same.

    I watched Beowulf and quite enjoyed it and then tried to read the book. The author is an illiterate mong he can't even spell.

    leassceaweras, on land Dena
    furþur feran. Nu ge feorbuend,
    mereliðende, minne gehyrað

    The film is good the cartoon Ray Winstone feels Angela Jolies cartoon tits and they have a baby that looks like venom. I recommend it

    Read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" because I was told it was the book that inspired Blade Runner.

    It nearly inspired me to die of ****ing boredom. And Daryl Hannah wasn't in it.

    The movie is not very good, the book was originally called Storm Island when I read it. I love Donald Sutherland but he's totally miscast here and you have no empathy with his character. The book is far superior in every way. Key to Rebecca is another cracking Ken Follett book which they ruined with a TV movie. Avoid.

    Amazon Prime have made a TV series of The Man In The High Castle, also by Philip K Dick. I'm hoping to see it soon.
