This Oscar-winning, anti-war film is based on the 1929 novel of the same name by German novelist Erich Maria Remarque. It follows Paul Baumer (Felix Kammerer), a naive German man who enlists in the army with his friends but soon realises the horrors of war.
Not only was this classic inspired by Mario Puzo's novel of the same name, Puzo also co-wrote the screenplay along with director Francis Ford Coppola. The book was a hit when it was first released but the film franchise took it to new heights.
Writer turned screenwriter once again as author Gillian Flynn wrote the screenplay of Gone Girl based on her bestselling novel of the same name. Flynn's sharp writing combined with David Fincher's direction delivered this phenomenal film.
A heartwrenching story of a woman and her son breaking free after years of being held captive, Room is not for the faint-hearted. The movie is based on Emma Donoghue's book of the same name.
Atonement is so wonderfully intricate and lush with details that it comes as no surprise that it is adapted from a work of literature: Ian McEwan's novel of the same name. The film is one of those marvels that bring an already engaging novel's pages to glorious animation.
