Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list  that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Best/Worst Movie Adaptations

*in no particular order

**Okay the order goes:

Book 1 one that I read and need to see and it's sitting on my desk 

3 that are being made into movies with releases coming out soon-ish, 

3 where I liked the book better, 

3 where the movie was as awesome as the book!

1. Warm Bodies

Okay, technically this one's out, but I have yet to see it. It's sitting on my desk, waiting for when I have time to watch it! So yes, I have high hopes for this one!

2. Divergent

OMG...so can't wait for this one! Loved the book, still have to read Insurgent! And I looooove Theo James! I have hopes that he can totally rock Four!

3. Vampire Academy (Blood Sisters)

Next year will totally rock for movies! Sooooo cannot wait to see this one finally come to life!

4. Hush, Hush

This is one that I know people either love or hate--although that can be said of any book really! But I really enjoyed this first one at least and I sooo cannot wait to see the movie!

5. Jaws

This was one where I actually liked the movie better. But I first must say I watched the movie like a thousand times as a kid before I ever read the book as an adult, so that's probably why!

6. Blood and Chocolate

This one was challenging. I LOVED the book. The movie, SUCKED as a movie based on a book, but the movie was pretty good on its own. Does that make any sense?

7. Timeline

This was one where the book was definitely a LOT better than the movie. But then again, the movie had to cut a LOT out.

8. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

While all the Harry Potter movies were good, I thought the first one was incredible! It stayed pretty true to the novel!

9. A Walk to Remember

The ONLY Nicholas Sparks book I ever read and it was at a time when I didn't have a lot of Paranormals to read, aka the Dark Times! The book was pretty good and I loved the movie adaptation despite some of the changes!

10. The Princess Bride

Yet another one where I grew up on the movie and didn't read the book til years later! I LOVE this movie and I LOVED the book too! Both were just awesome!
