Feature & Follow Friday (7) Movies I Wish Were Books First!

Welcome to Feature and Follow Friday, a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful bloggers, Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The goal of this blog hop is to gain followers, discover new blogs, and make new friends! What makes this blog hop different than others (and the reason I chose to link up) is that each week both hosts showcase a "Featured Blogger" ~ what a great way to get to know bloggers from different genres and areas!!

 This weeks featured bloggers are Newbie Librarians and (looks like we only have 1 this week!), check out their blogs, see what they're about, and then give them a follow!

Question of The Week:

Name a movie you would have loved to read as a book (That is not a book already, obviously!) - Suggested by Go Book Yourself

First, I want to just say how much I LOVE this week's question! This is something I actually think about often. Whenever I see a preview or hear about a movie that sounds amazing & incredible I always look to see if it's a book so that I can read it first. So, I actually have a pretty long list of favorite movies that I wish would have been books first. Rather than just sharing one with you, I'm sharing the one that's at the top of my list along with a few others interesting choices :)

I probably don't need to explain this choice, do I? The Matrix Trilogy would have been AMAZING as a book trilogy! Seriously, this book would have BLOWN my mind wide open and I can only imagine how much more of the story, world building, and characterizations we would have discovered if this had been a book first! The Matrix is one of those movies where you almost have to watch it a few times to fully grasp and wrap your mind around everything that's happening within its complicated and often complex plot. As a book, it would have been much easier to grasp every little nuance of the story! So there you have it, my top pick :)


Noteworthy Mentions: 

As a neo-noir psychological thriller, Memento would have made an amazing book and would have fallen under my favorite genre, thrillers that are dark and gritty! This movie was fascinating and had such an original, unique concept for it's time.

 I would have loved for any of John Hughes movies to have been written as a book by him first to see how he would have expanded oh his characters, The Breakfast Club just happens to be my all time favorite!

As a Professor, an Archaeologist, and an Adventurer, Indy still remains the greatest film hero of all time! Imagine the possibilities a book series would have provided, I could easily see 10-15 books keeping Indy alive, hunting down his treasures! 

Thanks all and Happy Friday!!!
