Films

True.

The film in no way resembles the book, which is incredible.

On that point, does anyone know of a film that is better than the book?

I'll throw my hat in the ring with Blade Runner (Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?)

good grown up suggestion Lucy,
'Into the wild' would be mine,
the book by Krakauur is journalistic, and the film fleshes it right out
there will be others, but Im working : /
