Movies that Started as Books

During the second half of the month of January, the DVD diplay area will feature movies that started out as books. I wanted to give you a little time to think about ones that you might want to read and watch (hopefully near the same time). I am also going to tell you what the name of the book/story is that the movie is based on. Happy reading and watching!!!
