Reel Fiction: Read the Book, See the Movie

What is better in cold, snowy January and February than reading books and watching movies? Some recent and classic books that have been transferred to screen would be a great combination. Some suggestions:

Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men (a Coen Brothers film)
Ian McEwan's Atonement (Joe Wright, director)
Marjarie Satrapi's Persepolis (She wrote it and directed the movie)
Dennis Lehane's Gone Baby Gone (Ben Affleck, director)
Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird (Three Academcy Awards)
Ken Kesey's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (won all five major Oscars)
Dorothy Johnson's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (a John Ford western, of course)

What do you want to add to the list? Post your suggestions! Make a New Year's resolution to involve yourself in Web 2.0.
