From Russia With Love. Best espionage thriller ever, best espionage film ever.
Certain adaptations of Dracula. Not Nosferatu.
Most Tom Clancy books. Crap books, crap films.

    Jaws - As good but with a different tone.
    Where Eagles Dare
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Headhunters - Jo Nesbo. Excellent book and film.
    Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.

    The Road. Excellent in every respect, I thought.

    That really interests me, I've only seen the film and both my friend and I came away wondering why he ran off just because seemingly his folks argued a bit, left us thinking he was bit of a fool more than anything. Will read the book when I get the chance.

    I've avoided the film as I couldn't possibly believe it would have any impact after the finish to the book and that's even though I've enjoyed the other work of the director and lead actor. You've made me wonder if I should reconsider now!

    ...and The Big Sleep (1946 version). Classic novel and film.
