I enjoyed Room. The book was amazing, and the movie was good. 🙂

Have to chose Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It’s a favorite and watch when ever I get a chance.

Wow, I’ll take a Julian Barnes book anytime I can get one! Thanks for the opportunity (and it just so happens I haven’t read this one yet).
My vote goes to the film, Wild, with Reese Witherspoon. I thought it was a great adaptation of the book, though possibly made the writer a bit more sympathetic. Not necessarily a bad thing. And, as an avid hiker, I loved the visuals.
