In my opinion one of the best combinations of books brought to the screen that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing has to be The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
These three movies that follow a ragtag group of hobbits, men, elves, and a dwarf (while running into various other human type creatures and beasts) started out as masterful books. Brought to the screen by director Peter Jackson The Lord of the Rings Trilogy came alive to old and new Lord of the Rings lovers alike. I love both the books and the movies based off of the books.
I would like to point out that yes I believe that The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was put onto the screen better than most book to movie combos but I also recognize that the books had been around for somewhere around 80 years before creating for a lot of thought to be dumped into the development of the movies. That time allowed for many people to poke around with the idea of creating movies out of the original books, for example the animated movies created in sometime around the 1970’s. As well as the massive amount of paintings that had been done by artist over the years that helped get a head start on the conceptual vision of the movie. The movies were outstandingly done but had one of the greatest head starts for making a movie.
All that being said The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was greatly made not only from books but the movies themselves were well made, so if you haven’t seen then please go watch them.
