I have a few:

Rear Window (1954)
12 Angry Men (1957)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

The Bone Collector was one of Denzil's worst movies imo. Jolie look like she actually ate something back then.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)"

I saw the movie first, and it felt like it was missing something.

Years later, I read the book, and found out what was missing. Literally half the story was removed in order to make the book into a play, and that play is what was adapted into the movie.

The book is written wonderfully and actually tells the entire story that was meant to be told. It's also a pretty quick read.

Book is highly recommended.

I eventually watched the movie and i did enjoy it, although i like to research films after watching them and i read a lot that there's loads missing in the film. I'll definitely need to read the book.

I always have wanted to see 'Raging Bull', but I haven't yet.

But I recommend 'The Bone Collector'. The novel by Jeffrey Deaver is way better. But the movie is good, if only for the eye candy which is Denzel Washington (swoon). I could watch him read a phone book!

Good list. I've seen all but:

The Bone Collector: 6.7 IMDB, 28% RT
My Week With Marilyn: 7.0 IMDB, 83% RT
The Way Way Back: 7.4 IMDB, 84% RT
3 Days To Kill: 6.2 IMBD, 28% RT

Based on those numbers, the only one I'm interested in is The Way Way Back.

Thanks.
