Runners-up

In case we offended you by leaving your favorite book-to-movie adaptation off of our list of the Ten Best Book-to-Screen Adaptations, please rest assured that it caused considerable squabbling amongst the staff, too. We almost replaced The Maltese Falcon with The Thin Man, and we almost replaced Clueless with the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice. However, the bitterest argument was reserved for the recent Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie, which Nathan and I thought was brilliant. Unfortunately, someone--MEGAN--flatly vetoed it on the grounds that she's still having nightmares about squirrels.
