Here is a list of the best movies based off books, voted on by cine-bibliophiles everywhere. Many movies are based off of books but whenever a new <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-endings-better-than-the-book/elle-tharp" target="_blank">movie based on a book</a> comes out there is an endless amount of whining about how Hollywood isn&#39;t original and why can&#39;t they write their own stories? That&#39;s simple, it&#39;s because these amazing stories are already written and Hollywood has the means to bring them to life, and sometimes they do it better than even your imagination thought possible&nbsp; (then again, sometimes they simply <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/books-that-deserve-better-movie-adaptations/charley-ruddell" target="_blank">can&#39;t do the original book justice</a> or were <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-shows-adapted-from-both-movies-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">later also adapted into TV shows</a> to continue the story or do it better). It&#39;s no surprise that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-based-on-classic-literature/nydahmad" target="_blank">popular movies</a> are often inspired by classic literatures and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-inspired-by-paintings/megan-summers" target="_blank">works of art</a>, but which one is the best?

This list looks at the films based on the books - novels, literature, or nonfiction - that made you want to reread the book, started endless <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-changed-the-ending-of-the-book/tracey-graham" target="_blank">&quot;which was better the movie or the book&quot;</a> debates, made you squeal with delight that you pictured it that way in your head, and just blew your frickin&#39;&nbsp;mind.

Books have always been a key part of the American cultural and social landscape, and thus have often become flashpoints in various culture wars. In fact, throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, certain books - even some we love - have been declared off-limits by those who believe they pose a danger to a certain group (usually children).&nbsp;Many reasons exist for book bans, which typically render even stellar tomes into stories people can’t read. This is all the more unsettling given how often banned books have been turned into films,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-movies-based-on-banned-books/mike-mcgranaghan">many of which are underrated</a>. Read on to discover the absurd rationale some people have used in attempts to ban even seemingly innocuous books.

As you slide comfortably into being an adult, one fact quickly becomes evident: everyone is a big fat liar, especially when it comes to discussing impressive books to read. Avid readers should definitely check out these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-book-review-youtube-channels/youtuber" target="_blank">popular book reviewers on YouTube</a>.&nbsp;Not only are there too many life-affirming books out in the world to read in one lifetime, but there are also a bunch of books that become a part of the social zeitgeist, and if you don’t read them you’ll be left out of the cultural conversation. The books people lie about reading tend to be considered classics, but they’re also <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/books-youll-never-finish/amylindorff">massive tomes</a> that are responsible for destroying an entire forest. Some books people claim to have read would make better doorstops than they would entertainment, but you should still act as if you’ve devoured every page. If you don’t lie about some of these books, what are you going to have to talk about?There are so many intelligent&nbsp;and cool people out in the world, and every single one of them&nbsp;says they have read all of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-books-of-all-time-_fiction_">most important books</a>. You know how you lie about what you scored on your SATs? Well you should also do that with literature. This list of books you should say you've read makes it easy for you to fool your friends and strangers alike. Because if you do come across someone who has actually read all of these books they’re not going to be able to keep the plot points separated in their heads long enough to call you on your BS. Keep reading to see all the books people pretend to have read – and then maybe actually read one of them.&nbsp;

This list includes a wide variety of books that are considered autobiographical, including <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-2010s-autobiograpies-memoirs/ranker-books" target="_blank">more recent memoirs</a>.

Do you remember The Boxcar Children? This series of children&#39;s novels by&nbsp;Gertrude Chandler Warner&nbsp;seems innocuous or even charming on the surface. But&nbsp;The Boxcar Children, initially&nbsp;published in 1924 and revised in 1942,&nbsp;is a&nbsp;truly <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/terrifying-childrens-books/april-a-taylor" target="_blank">terrifying series for kids</a>. The&nbsp;books follow&nbsp;a family of four precocious orphans as they make their way through the world while living in a railroad boxcar and fending for themselves.

Many of the plot points in the initial book&nbsp;and subsequent&nbsp;novels (<a href="https://www.boxcarchildren.com/books/" target="_blank">more than 150 titles</a>) are straight-up dark. Included in the storyline is a father who struggles with substance use and a possible zombie outbreak. So,&nbsp;don&rsquo;t let anyone tell you the Alden family (better known as the Boxcar Children) was&nbsp;ever entirely wholesome. This series has always included&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stories-from-the-book-scary-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark/christopher-myers" target="_blank">frightening</a><a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/stories-from-the-book-scary-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark/christopher-myers" target="_blank"> undertones</a>, and maybe that&#39;s part of the appeal to&nbsp;readers young and old.&nbsp;

You can make the case for many books to be on this list, but only a few can be considered the best novel ever written. For as long as books have been around, there has been debate amongst book enthusiasts over what truly is the best book ever. The one criteria on this list is that we are only taking fiction books into account. Anything should not be on here.Classics like Victor Hugo's Les Mis&eacute;rables, Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Charles Dickens' Tale of Two Cities and John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath are all on here and deservedly so as they've stood the test of the time and have become important pieces of literature. That's not to say that modern books are neglected, in fact, they're well represented as well. Recent classics like J. R. R. Tolkien's <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unscripted-lines-in-lord-of-the-rings/tpetersccc?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Lord of the Rings</a>, Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, Thomas Pynchon's Gravity Rainbow and Stephen King's The Waste Lands are on here.It's up to you to vote on or even add a book that isn't on this list.

A votable list of the all-time best fantasy book series, ranked by readers of fantasy fiction. Of fantasy books, readers can expect an intricately-created <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-of-the-fantasy-worlds">imaginary world</a> with its own culture, history and rules of engagement.&nbsp;The setting of most popular fantasy book series is internally consistent or self-coherent, where inspiration from mythology or folklore remains a consistent theme. 
 
Most <a href="/crowdranked-list/best-fantasy-authors">authors of the top fantasy books</a> use magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary plot element, theme, or setting. In the structure of a good fantasy book, the fantastical element of the story can be anywhere: the story may occur entirely in <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-of-the-fantasy-worlds?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">a fantasy world</a> (like J.R.R. Tolkien&#39;s Lord of the Rings series) or fantastic elements like magic can exist alongside an apparently real world setting (as in the seven Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling). Fantasy follows rules of its own making, but the great fantasy books are consistent with the rules that they lay out for themselves. In the best fantasy books, the reader suspends disbelief and loses himself in the imaginary world of the book.

Some of the fantasy book series included in this list are of the grand epic fantasy genre, some are more character-driven fantasy or coming of age tales, some may be simply fantasy that&#39;s part of a series. Vote up your favorites to determine the best fantasy series of all time. And if we missed any epic tales you love, be sure to add them to this list of the best fantasy book series.
