Contact - Carl Sagan (Jodie Foster really good in the movieversion)
I, Claudius - Robert Graves (not a movie but a great TV-series)
In the Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco (Connery real god as a darkages detective and monk)
Invasion of the body snatchers - Jack Finney (at least three movie versions)
Does androids dream of electric sheep? - Philip K. Dick (movie known as Blade runner)
No country for old men - Cormac McCarthy (i especially liked Javier Bardem in the movie)
Winds of War - Herman Wouk (think this was a miniseries, anyway it was good)

Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer
The movie was fantastic!

No Country For Old Men.
Great in both book and movie form.

Yes it was. I'll have to pick up the book.
???? If you've seen a film with Steve McQueen, Dustin Hoffman and a yellow brick road. Then you've seen it Flake
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest ~ Ken Kesey
Some Came Running
1958, Frank and Deano doin James Jones. Shirley MaCLaine too cute for words. The ending's kinda out-there, IMO, but a good couple hours. Lil Wild Turkey or something, better have: can't watch Frank and Dean and not wanna drink sooner or later.

Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut
You probably shouldn't see the film if you've not read the book. I don't think you could understand the film without reading the book but if you've read the book, the film is very good. Even Kurt liked it.

Yep,read it and seen it. Good choice.
Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad (The movie i refer to is Apocalypse Now, it is based on Conrads book)
I read the book a long time ago (it's a classic for a reason!) - didn't know there was a movie.
Another book I need to read, pretty sure it's in my "1001 books you need to read before you die" book.
