LIST OF MOVIES THAT WE WISH WE COULD READ
Do you love movies based on books?
One of the best things about reading is that you basically have an extended movie INSIDE your head! Movie adaptations of your favorite stories can be so exciting. Adding great actors, beautiful music, and intense scenes really bring to life all those moments that previously only lived inside your head.
But sometimes, don’t you wish that your favorite movies could be just a little longer? Wouldn’t it be great if all of those action sequences and romantic gestures could be written on pages for you to imagine yourself?
Here is a list of movies that I and many other book lovers – would like to read as a book.
P.S Screenplays DO NOT count! Neither do children’s books. For the purpose of this list, we want NOVELS!

BASED ON A TRUE STORY
Based on a true story is a popular genre for movies and books. However, it is rare to find a true story that was written into a book and then adapted into a movie. Here are some of the most popular “Based on a True Story” movies that really need to be adapted into the written word.
ROMANCE
Romance…. it is the #1 recurring element in ALL movies. I dare you to try to think of a movie that doesn’t portray two characters either falling in love, or falling out of it. Here is a list of some of the most popular romance movies that would make GREAT books!
