15 BEST HOLLYWOOD MOVIES BASED ON BOOKS THAT ARE WORTH WATCHING

 

Let me clear you one thing, there are lot of movies that are based on books and some of them are good and some of them are bad. But here are some of the best movies that are based on book/novels. 
Ever wondered how boring the Hollywood film industry would have been without the many novels they've been based upon? There's no denying that books make up for some of the best film scripts we've seen so far. We all love the let's read and leave it to our imagination idea but you have to admit that visuals end up doing a much better job. 
Below you'll find some of the best movies based on books available for streaming right now and we also included the name of book/novel so that you can read it or watch movie based on it if you have read that book/novel. It's actually fun to watch movie sometimes than reading book, but many find reading interesting (sometimes). 

LIST OF THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIES BASED ON BOOK. 

1) The First Wives Club (1996)
Book- The First Wives Club by Olivia Goldsmith
Available on Amazon Prime Video. 

We love everything about this movie: the acting, the humor, and the friendship of three reunited friends. The film follows the women, played by Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton, deciding to get revenge on their ex-husbands after the death of a close friend.

2) To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018) 
Book- To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han 
Available on Netflix.
Laura Jean and Peter Kavinsky's romance is sure to go down as one of this generation's most popular love stories. The trilogy of teen romantic comedy books by Jenny Han turned Netflix movies are popular for a reason. Yes, there are some common tropes used in the plot. However, the film adaptations somehow still feel fresh, unique, and effortlessly heartwarming.

3) The Harry Potter Series (2001-2011)
Book- The Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling. 
Available to buy on Vudu.

Who could have known that the boy who lived would start an international phenomenon? Readers and audiences of all ages have been obsessed with the Wizarding World for decades, and it's easy to see why: The friendship, the magic, the excitement and the humor are as enthralling in the movies as they are in the books.

4) It (2017)
Book- It by Stephen King
Available on HBO Max.
This chilling horror classic has terrified generations. In a small New England town, a group of unlikely friends find themselves caught in the clutches of a mysterious shape-shifting killer who takes the form of whatever you fear most. 

5) The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Book- Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King
Available on Netflix.
I personally love this movie, I watched it more that 5 times and read this book too. It always amaze me.The highest-rated movie on IMDb, this classic is parodied (and homaged) all over the place, a favorite of both fans and critics. It's a drama, to be sure, but as far as prison stories go, watchable and even a little hopeful.

6) Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Book- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Available on Amazon Prime Vide.
Jane Austen's classic story of love and bad first impressions has been adapted many times over. But this film version, starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, takes a more realistic approach than other film versions. As a result, enemies turned lovers Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy come to life onscreen.

7) The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
Book- The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
Available to rent on Amazon Prime Video.
This sexy classic is actually part of a series about the eponymous Ripley, a social-climbing mimic who will lie, cheat, and even murder his way up the ranks of wealthy midcentury Manhattanites. The movie features Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, and Jude Law at their golden, glowy, youthful best, and a striking performance from the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

8) Atonement (2007)
Book- Atonement: A Novel by Ian McEwan
Available to rent on Amazon Prime Music.
Beware: This story is a bummer. Though famous for its library sex scene and the debut of a young Saoirse Ronan, Atonement is mostly a war story, and a devastating one at that. No one gets away clean in this tale of love, loss, lies, and regret.

9) The Godfather Trilogy (1972-1990)
Book- The Godfather by Mario Puzo
Available on Paramount+
The greatest achievement in the history of American cinema? This crime epic has been praised for its performances, filmmaking, quotable lines, and archetypal characters. It's rich with symbolism and history, but actually a straightforward and pleasant watch. Never meandering or slow, the story is gripping, if devastating.

10) The White Tiger (2021)
Book- The White Tiger: A Novel by Aravind Adiga
Available on Netflix. 
This film adaptation of Aravind Adiga's 2008 novel follows a man named Balram Halwai (Adarsh Gourav, in his first leading role) who was born into poverty and uses his wit and cunning to build a successful career as an entrepreneur. 

11) Room (2015)
Book- Room by Emma Donoghue 
Available on Hulu.
Both the book and the film adaptation of this intense story follow a kidnapped young woman and her son, who we learn was born in captivity. When they finally escape their abuser, the child gets to experience the outside world for the first time in his life.

12) Hidden Figures (2016) 
Book- Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly.
Available on Disney+.
Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe star in this movie about the three Black women who worked at NASA during the early years of the space program. They were an integral part of launching astronaut John Glenn into orbit. This story is most likely not one you learned about in school.

13) A Simple Favor (2018)
Book- A Simple Favor: A Novel by Darcey Bell.
Available to rent on Amazon Prime Video.
 
Nothing's simple about A Simple Favor. Perhaps the best part of the crime thriller is Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick's odd yet enthralling dynamic. You'll be scratching your head from start to finish as you try to figure out what exactly is going on in the film.  

14) The Princess Diaries (2001)
Book- The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot.
Available on Disney+
The ultimate glow-up! Mia Thermopolis is an awkward, nerdy high school outcast who discovers she's actually royalty in this modern twist on the Cinderella story. Peppered with observations about friendship, love, and growing up, the books are as funny as the movie. The book series, written like a diary, will make you fall even more in love with Mia than the film adaptation did. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to wear Doc Martens after reading.

15) Jurassic Park (1993)
Book- Jurassic Park: A Novel by Michael Crichton
Available to rent on Amazon Prime Video. 
This blockbuster keeps getting rebooted for a reason: It's just cool to watch dinosaurs chase people! Yes, there's a lesson here about overstepping the bounds of science and hubris in the face of nature, but mostly, T-Rex go chomp-chomp.
