Fight Club, OH - and Sophie's World! Fight Club's, lets see how I'm going to spell his name this time, Chuck Palahnuik. OK, so I looked it up, it's an impossible name. And Sophie... well, if I'm not mistaken about 9 different writers worked on that one so for the life of me I couldn't tell you. Is Angela's Ashes mentioned yet, anyway? |

It would make a good book. I'm sure we're leaving out literally thousands of movies that were taken directly from novels, short stories and plays. In many cases two or three versions were made over the years -- for example, Charles Dickens A Christmas Caol must have been done dozens of times and, at times by different titles, such as Scrooge or Ebaneezer etc... |
