Movies you'd like to see remade

[Anomalocaris]

Like everything else, adaptions vary. I prefer a series for the harder material, but things like Harry Potter have been adapted effectively. Nothing is going to be perfect but sweeping denial isn't very perfect either.

I think novelists can be influenced by the contemporary film medium in how they conceive of scenes and descriptions, and, without having film adaptation explicit in mind when they wrote, they construct their novel in a more film like way,  with more emphasis on external observation, more formulaic or stylized depiction of inner mental pictures and deeper psychological depth, so as to make their novels more film like in the first place.    in my opinion, without casting aspersions on their literary qualities, harry potter series of novels are more film like to start with.
