Just discovered that Rob tagged me. Holy shit, I'm going to suck at this one...
Here it goes:
From Box Office Mojo's list of Top 48 Sci-Fi Films Based on a Book (or Story) (1980- present). Some of the titles on this list look suspicious. (Was Cocoon really based on a piece of written fiction? There's a difference between an adaptation and a novelization.)
Here are the rules.
- Copy the list below.
- Mark in bold the movie titles for which you read the book.
- Italicize the movie titles for which you started the book but didn't finish it.
- Tag 5 people to perpetuate the meme. (You may of course play along anyway.)
And now, the list...
1. Jurassic Park
2. War of the Worlds
3. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
4. I, Robot
5. Contact
6. Congo
7. Cocoon
8. The Stepford Wives
9. The Time Machine
10. Starship Troopers
11. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
12. K-PAX
13. 2010

Pat,
you should definitely read Battlefield Earth and The Postman. They are much, much better than the horrible movies they spawned.
You mean you haven't read everything by Clarke yet? Shame on you, shame.
Lifeforce came from a book? Didn't know that...just checked imdb. Colin Wilson? Damn. That movie haunted me for years. Beautiful vampire alien girl, beautiful sets, apocaliptic story arc...everything a teenager likes. Bought on a bad DVD version at amazon...oh well, for the time the FX was impressive. Thanx for pointing this out.
I'm a sucker for scifi books/movie memes, so I did it. I italicized the titles that I've seen the movie of, whether I've read the book or not, since I don't generally stop reading books part of the way through.
I don't see The Prestige, Children of Men, Minority Report, or Total Recall anywhere on that list.
Heck, since they are sorting by money Minority Report should be number one on the list and Total Recall would be third.
Hang on, didn't you read Dreamsongs? Nightflyers is in there.
Doing my own list on my blog :-)
Pat! How have you not read 1984!
I love a lot of these books, but some are not from post 1980. INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, for instance, was 1978.
And some of these are pure horror, no real SF element, like MONKEY SHINES. And once you bring horror into it, there's a ton of films that aren't on here (Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, etc).
I got 19 read and 3 unfinished. Not bad eh?
