	The World According to Garp (1982)
The wondeful John Irving wrote the book, and Glenn Close stars as Garp's excentric mother Jenny. A must see.
	The Hours (2002)
This fim kept very close to the beautiful story in Cunningham's novel.
	Emma (1996)
They got Austen right with this one. Also check out Sense and Sensibility.
	A Clockwork Orange (1971)
ummm...all I can say is that both are good. And disturbing!
	Cold Mountain (2003)
This is a beautiful movie, the book is more powerful...but it's worth seeing.
	Bridget Jones's Diary (Collector's Edition) (2001)
These are both laugh out loud funny. And I love watching Hugh Grant play a sleeze ball.
	House of Sand and Fog (2003)
Andre Dubous III wrote a sartling novel. Ben Kingsley's performance is worth the rental alone. But don't watch this if you are at all sad. It's not a happy movie.
	To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
No comment needed right?
	In Cold Blood (1967)
Truman Capote tells the true story of 2 men who brutaly murdered an entire family in the 50's. The film stars none other than Robert Blake as one o the murderers. Hmmmm...
	Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)			Not Rated
Truman Capote agin. The short story ends different than the movie. Be warned.
	Breakfast of Champions (1999)
An interesting take on a Vonnegut classic. Maybe not for evryone.
