10 Adapted Movies That Were Actually Too Accurate to the Source Material (CBR.com)

"Cinematic adaptations were an embryonic art form during the time of Georges Méliès' Cinderella (1899): a short film based on the Brothers' Grimm fairytale. Since then, countless movies have been adapted from existing literature, including novels, plays, short stories – and, more recently – video games and comic books. The burden of translation mostly lies on the director, but editors, screenwriters, and cinematographers also play a major role in bringing adaptations to life. Although many movies stray from their source material, there are a few shining examples that illustrate the exact opposite – perhaps too well in some cases." - cbr.com
