Description
Top Ten Tuesday is a weakly meme hosted by . Every week a different topic comes up and bloggers list their top ten books in that category. I love a good list...I've always said that. That's practically my catchphrase.
Most of the books I love are already movies so this one was tricky! Also, I tend to like the movies a lot less than the books and sometimes they even ruin books for me a bit...so, yeah, I was unsure!

Title: The BFG
Author: Roald Dahl
Why I Want a Movie: I know there was already a cartoon film but I think a live action version would be absolutely amazing! Magical!

Title: The Magic Faraway Tree
Why I Want a Movie: These books were among my absolute favourites as a child and I think a film would be so fairy tale and magical and Moony could be kinds creepy. Ahh I want this film!
8.
Title: Blankets
Author: Craig Thompson
Why I Want a Movie: I think this would be a gorgeous stop motion or cartoon film. It would be so arty and romantic!

Title: The Book Theif
Author: Markus Zusak
Why I Want a Movie: I would probably cry and be an embarassing mess watching this but, if done right, it could be wonderful.

Title: Nights at the Circus
Author: Angela Carter
Why I Want a Movie: This would be such a colourful, flamboyant riot of a film with so many surreal and magical realist elements. It would be so pretty!
5.
Title: Sin City Vol.1
Author: Frank Miller
Why I Want a Movie: I know there is already a film. But there are many volumes of Sin City and, in my opinion, the best is still to come. The second film has been in the pipeline FOREVER and I just want it NOW :-(
4.
Title: The Secret HistoryAuthor: Donna Tartt
Why I Want a Movie: This is one of my favourite books of all time and, as far as I know, there is no movie. These characters are so amazing and it's such a downfall that I think the film would be brilliant!
3.
Title: The Historian
Author: Elizabeth Kostova
Why I Want a Movie: This is a REAL vampire story and would maybe shake off Twilight once and for all...get some people loving vampires again!
2.
Title: Poor Things
Author: Alasdair Gray
Why I Want a Movie: This novel is so incredible and is such a facinating take on the Frankenstein trope that I think it would make a gruesome but moving film.
1.
Title: Anne of Green Gables
Author: L.M Montgomery
Why I Want a Movie: I know there have been films. But I didn't think they captured Anne properly and I didn't think the settings were beautiful enough. Maybe no movie can live up to my love for this book...but I would like them to give it a good try!
Let me know which movie adaptations you are hoping for!
I really want to see the Book Thief as a movie. That would be pretty cool :). Great post!
ReplyI would love it if you could check out !
Oh, The Historian is such an amazing book! It would make a fabulous movie. I would definitely go see it. I still need to read The Book Thief! I should do that soon.
ReplyGreat list. Agree, agree, agree with Anne and BFG and Secret History.
ReplyAnd I've always wanted to read Nights at the Circus....
Here's my I'd love to have you stop by!
The Night circus is on my summer To Read List! And I agree, Anne of Green Gables could do with a well
Replydone update of the books. Maybe as a PBS series?!
The Historian would be a great movie, and with the current popularity of vampires in all forms of media, it seems like it would be a natural choice! I couldn't put that book down when I first read it. And I'm excited to see The Secret History on your list; I just picked it up from the library and can't wait to start it. :)
ReplyGreat choices! Thanks for sharing!
Sin City was one of my favorite movies the year it came out! I would definitely see a sequel.
ReplyI really need to read The Book Thief, i've heard nothing but good things about it..
ReplyInteresting choice of books! Very unique :)

The Secret History and The Historian are both books that would be on my list as well. I actually find it hard to believe that neither of them have been made into films yet. Especially The Secret History. Great list!
ReplyI picked The Book Thief and The HIstorian too, both are wonderful books that would make great movies!
ReplyGreat list! The Book Thief made it on a lot of people's lists this week; I guess I was hesitant to add it to my list because I really would want them to do an amazing job on it if they did!
ReplyHere's my TTT for this week:
I think that would be a great idea for the Roald Dahl book. My friend just read The Historian and I'm definitely interested in checking that out myself. I love vampire stories turned into film, if they're done right.
ReplyWhat a wonderful selection of books you picked! I just love how often these choices have the caveat "if done right." Oh Hollywood!
Happy reading!
Ooh, The Faraway Tree would be the most adorable thing ever. I would so totally take all the kids in the Paeds ward to watch that!
ReplyI love Roald Dahl!! You absolutely stole my heart :) I have honestly read like every book he ever published. He fascinates me!

Oh my goodness The Book Thief would be one of the saddest movies ever made, I have goosebumps just thinking about it!
ReplyNice list! I haven't read any of those. I must be missing out. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyGlaciers Hockey is actually one sport that's played around the world in various regions. It brings together the bone fragments crushing checks using the gracefulness associated with sliding over the ice.
