Books I'd Like to See as Movies

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists over there at The Broke and the Bookish. I'd love to share my lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

This week is all about books that would make great movies. I always picture how everything would be when reading a story so when it is announced that a book I've read is going to be turned into a movie, I always worry it won't fulfill my expectations (which happens often). It's been difficult to pick the books today, but I think these five books could really be great movies.

1. The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. Researching for this list, I actually discovered that they are working on the movie, so what a cool surprise! For me, the perfect Don Tillman would be our beloved Sheldon (Jim Parsons).

2. Chaising Daisy by Paige Toon. This story follows two Formula 1 pilots around the world and it has all the elements to make a great movie: risk, love, drama and stunning settings. While reading it I always pictured the Formula 1 pilots Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg as the main male characters. 

3. The Lie by C.L. Taylor. This gripping and disturbing thriller would make such a gripping movie as well. You never know what is really going on and who to trust. Perfect for the big screen.

4. Letters to the Lost by Iona Grey. This is one of the best novels I've read in a while. Such an epic love story that starts during the WWII, I think it would make a marvelous movie. As our hero, Dan, I would cast Chad Michael Murray.

5. The Vintage Guide to Love and Romance by Kirsty Greenwood. I loved every bit of this hilarious book about a girl, Jessica Beam, trying to follow a romantic guide from the fifties to land a good husband now. A must this year. I think Sarah Hyland would make quite a good Jessica Beam.

What do you think, would you like to see these books as movies? What other books would you choose?

    I haven't read any of those book so can't make an opinion on them but I have to say that I second any movie that would star Jim Parsons, the guy is just brilliant!

      Yes, I love him! If you enjoy his character Sheldon, then I highly recommend you read The Rosie Project. Such a fantastic book, and its main character is quite similar to him! :)

    I haven't read any of these books either, but I'm definitely intrigued by The Lie. It sounds a lot like We Were Here, and I'm a huge fan of unreliable narrators/characters. Thanks for sharing this list!

      Thanks Lauren! The Lie is one of the most gripping psychological thrillers I've read in a long while. Highly recommended! :)

    I would pay good money to see the vintage guide one become a movie. I am absolutely obsessed with the 1950's and anything vintage really! Great picks. :)

      Thank you Katie! The Vintage Guide would be such a cool movie, and I'd love to see all the vintage dresses and hair-dos! :)

      Yes, apparently there was some interest shown on it but unfortunately for us it didn't work out. :(

    Jim Parsons would make a great Don Tillman! :)

      Yes, definitely! The problem is that they'll probably cast someone else and I'll be disappointed! :)
