1000 Movies Based on Books

This is obvious book adaptations, movies famously "inspired" by books like APOCALYPSE NOW by HEART OF DARKNESS, and includes some well known short story adaptations and graphic novels. I am also including sequels that may not be directly tied to the original but would not exist without the book.
