appointment with death...a great book done wrong twice by movies.
shareA is for alibi...I'd pay a lot to see that movie.
shareA better, more accurate version of this true story. Liddy wasn't the Hollywood, pretty boy version of a tough guy. He was genuinely hardcore. https://moviechat.org/tt0084908
shareGood choice. An excellent book.
"I will live to a healthy ripe age of 99 and then drop dead of DDT exposure."
It is. Is that a quote of his from the book? It's been quite awhile since I read it.
shareYeah. He did his college studying in a room that was sprayed with DDT regularly. Quoted loosely by memory but close enough. It's been 15 years since I read it.
shareHe also achieved a measure of success as an actor himself, post Watergate and prison. He certainly lived an interesting, colorful and controversial life.

The Martian Chronicles. Ray Bradbury.
But not the 1979 TV mini-series.
Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves.
I'm aware even attempting to make a film out of it would be missing its point, but still. If nothing else, I'd really like to see a filmed version of The 5 & ½ Minute Hallway.
I generally prefer to see movies that are based off of books that I haven't read yet so I don't hate them, but....
Cicada Spring by Christian Galacar
The Game is Life series by Terry Schott (Although Free Guy looks to be a little similar, but still very different)
There is also part of me that would like to see a bit more of a faithful adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. The book was darker than the movie, and as a fan of the macabre that interests me, but I think at this point it's one of those movies that is so iconic it would be sacrilege to do a different adaptation.
