Table of contents: title: Whenever a movie is inspired by a book, there’s a lot of hue and cry about the lack of originality. Here’s a look at the best of these -; title: 1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - The movie is easily among the best movies ever to have been made in the history of cinema, and without a doubt, the undisputed winner on this list. Chronicling the travels of Frodo, Sam and Gollum, to the top of Mountain Doom, the movie exudes wonder and sheer brilliance in every shot!; title: 2. Schindler’s List - Now anyone who hasn’t watched this one, has missed a major cinematic experience. The movie is inspired by the real-life story of a German factory-owner, Oscar Schindler. Schindler was witness to the dreadful visions of the Holocaust, and created a list of more than a thousand Jews, whose lives he saved.; title: 3. The Princess Bride - This movie is one of the most special movies ever to have been made. It tells the story of the abduction of the lovely Buttercup, who is rescued by Pirate Roberts. A subtle love story, the movie exudes a simplistic beauty, rare in modern cinema.; title: 4. Die Hard - Thrilling beyond imagination, and intriguing beyond belief, Die Hard is the kind of movie that once watched, stays with you forever. The movie follows John McClane, a New York cop, who singlehandedly combats a group of terrorists in the most riveting manner ever. A must-watch for those who love to feel their adrenaline pumping!; title: 5.Apollo 13 - A wonderful adaptation of an extremely intelligent book, the movie lays a prediction about the third lunar expedition. Immensely thought-provoking and superbly crafted, the movie is among the mightiest projects ever to have been made.; title: 6.Babe - Being, without doubt, the most brilliantly adapted animal based film, Babe is the kind of a movie you just cannot, and should not, miss. The movie centers on a pig named Babe, who is confused about the purpose of his life. However, it just takes a little motivation from his fellow animals to realize that nothing can stop him from being the best pig ever!; title: 7.Lord of the Flies - The movie will take you to an altogether different world, with the story of two boys, who fight for leadership as they get marooned on an island, along with their mates. The performances are incredibly powerful, as is the movie’s premise.; title: Very few books get translated well, onto the big screen, and these are just a few!
