In Reply to: In honor of HHGTTG: Best book/film adaptations? posted by jbmcb on May 4, 2005 at 09:08:03:
I agree with all of your picks. I would add three Thomas Hardy novels: "Tess", "Far From the Madding Crowd". and "The Claim" (based on Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge".

I quite liked The Claim, an interesting take.
I not only own it but we discussed it last year in our Summer book/film discussion group.

I find The Claim one of the most interesting literary adaptations I've seen.I'm also a fan of the very different Winterbottom films 24 Hour Party People and Code 46 (which most people hated).

Sorry to butt into this thread, but I just saw Code 46 and had mixed feelings about it. A little too slow and gloomy and was a bit convoluted because some aspects were not described well. I also found it odd that with such futuristics homes and gadgets they still drove circa 2004 cars.By the way, I lurk on this and the music board and your taste in films and music is impeccible.
