How many movies can you name that were based on books or short stories?

Do you mean books that are made into movies? Because I could name a lot! Here it goes: Jurassic Park, The Lost World (the sequel to Jurassic Park) The Lost World (by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) The Beastmaster, Sphere, The Bone Collector, A Walk To Remember, Lord Of The Rings, Jaws, Little Women, Alice In Wonderland, and Alice through the Looking Glass, Harry Potter, The Shining, It, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Silence of the Lambs, The Time Machine, Clueless, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, To kill a Mockingbird, Gone With The Wind, The Godfather, Congo, A Time to Kill, The Horse Whisperer, Sense and Sensibility, Dracula, A Message In a Bottle, and I could name more.

You've got to be kidding! Hundreds, thousands if I were to research it. I think there are as many movies made based on books as there are not. That's why there are two Oscar categories for screenplay writing. One for original and one for adaptation. Just think of all the movies from these few authors. Stephen King John Grisham Ian Fleming Sidney Sheldon Dean Koontz Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle Edgar Rice Burroughs The Bronte sisters Jane Austen The works of William Shakespeare adapted to books, then adapted to movies Charles Dickens Earnest Hemmingway Those are just off the top of my head.
