Top 10 Tuesday--Book to Movie Adaptations

A weekly meme hosted @ The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's theme is Top 10 Book to Movie Adaptations.

Another theme that I simply can't pass up!  To focus the scope a little further (and cut down the list considerably), I've only listed books that I've read & their adapted movies (which I've seen).  Click the book title for my review (if available) and the movie title for more info on it.  In no particular order:

1)  Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery--adapted in 1985 starring Megan Follows as Anne, Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert, Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla, Richard Farnsworth as Matthew, and Schuyler Grant as Diana.
