More movies that made them a star
Housekeeping. Bonnie and Clyde was skipped. @Gr8Kat , you’re up.
Movies That Are Better Than The Book
I thought the book was kinda mean-spirited.
Movies That Are Better Than The Book
The book was an ordinary summer potboiler, the kind you take to read at the airport and leave behind. The film was a masterpiece, quite different in spirit from the book.

The movie told the story, and didn’t bother with a lot of the non-essential stuff adding nothing to the story that was in the book.

The book by Mario Puzo was pulpy trash in his own opinion (Did we need to hear how big Sonny’s penis was?). They were able to make two masterpieces from the original source material

The book had an enormous body count, in the triple digits. You know, for kids!
Have to register protest for The Wizard of Oz. If you read Baum’s foreword to the original book, you will realize that the core of the film’s story entirely defeated Baum’s intent in writing the book.
For high body counts, cf. Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

(I assume the intention was to highlight films where the book came first? If not, please reinstate Star Wars.)
I don’t know why that would be assumed.
Movies That Are Better Than The Book
The movie is more closely focused on hunting down the replicants, and if I remember the novel well enough, I believe the movie introduces the idea that they want their life span extended, which I think adds another layer to the story.
To be clear, the book Star Wars was a novelization of the movie screenplay, rather than a book which was adapted into a screenplay (which was the case for most of the others on the list).
As the creator of this list, I’ll allow it. Carry on.
So now we’re waiting for dirtball to give us a new topic?
I had #9. We need one more.

Her screen debut in 1962, as “Beatnik Girl In Lineup.”
I remember hearing an interview with her when Lincoln came out. Spielberg wanted her to put on weight to play Mary Todd Lincoln, so she drank a lot of milkshakes.
