[smittenbyu]

Today's Friday Five questions are brought to us by livejournal user amguynes, the letter F, and the number 5.

1. Your favorite book?
2. Your favorite movie?
3. Your least favorite adaptation of a book to a movie?
4. Your least favorite adaptation ever of anything to a movie?
5. Your first ever novel/comic book/movie character crush?

1. ONE book? Impossible - I give three I really liked in recent times year or so: Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd, Uprooted by Oscar Handlin, and Born to Run by Christopher McDougall


2. ummm... Sound of Music and Star Wars (the original three)


3. There were some but I tend to forget the bad ones.


4. Actually Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. If I hadn't read the book it was a fantastic movie because Gene Wilder, come on! But somehow it was very different from what I envisioned reading the book!


5. Does MacGyver count? Because oh my goodness... Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver - while my friends were drooling over James Bond, I was over MacGyver.... ahem. I love that the reruns are on!! :)
