Has anyone noticed how many books are making it on the big screen these days? I'm so excited about all of this that I've compiled a list of books-turned-movies due for screening in 2011. Anyone else excited? And I'm only listing those that I care about watching. :P Leave comments for suggestions. Shows movie posters. Dates (months) may be inaccurate. All movie titles correspond with the novels they are based on, unless otherwise noted.

At the end of the year, along with my book reflections, I'll decide upon my favourite, the best and worst film adaptation that I watch for 2011.
What books-to-movies are you waiting to watch?
Have you read any of these books?
What did you think about any movie you've already watched?
. . . also, please do suggest more movies. And also movies that AREN'T based on books!
