Stolen from Rob’s Blog o’ Stuff (who stole it from SF Signal). The list is based on the top grossing movie titles that are based on a book or story, which can be found here.
Here are the rules.
* Copy the list below.
* Mark in bold the movie titles for which you read the book.
* Italicize the movie titles for which you started the book but didn’t finish it.
* Tag 5 people to perpetuate the meme. (You may of course play along anyway.)
And now, the list:
1. Jurassic Park
2. War of the Worlds
3. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
4. I, Robot
5. Contact
6. Congo
