Iconic Novels Adapted Into Great Films

Every time a new book deal is announced, there's virtually always news of the screen rights being sold as well. When the rights to a book are sold, it does not guarantee that the book will be adapted for the screen, but it is usually a solid bet for studios to pick them up in case the book does well. And there are a plethora of books that have been effectively adapted into film, dating all the way back to the invention of moving images. So, here are 100 incredible books that have been adapted for film. There are both old and new titles in this list of books that are also movies, covering fiction, nonfiction, comics, and children's books. There are undoubtedly hundreds more book to film adaptations to select from, but these are an excellent place to start. How many have you seen?
