  1. The Avengers is my favorite movie! A movie based on a book that I liked was the Great Gatsby! I don’t know about one I didn’t like but I would love to see the Gallagher Girl Series to completely be made into a movie!

  2. I enjoyed the casting of The Perks of being a Wallflower b/c I believe that Emma Watson and Logan Lerman would be a great Cammie and Zach. Emma’s haircut in Perks would be great for the beginning of OSOT, in my opinion.
    Cant wait for excerpt!

  3. Fav movie: pretty much anything actiony; The Pirates of Carribean movies are good, watched a movie the other night called knight and day that was pretty good. I like 17 again with Zach Efron. I <3 all the Harry potters. And of course Pitch Perfect is genious. Titanic is like 17 golden hours. Oh, I almost forgot: finding memo and toy story three are classics.
    Fav book movie: As I mentioned, Harry Potter is well….. Harry Potter!!! I also like The Outsiders (kind of an understatement, I could tell the name of everyone in the entire cast) Hunger Games wasn't bad.

    • Ooh THE OUTSIDERS is a good one!! I agree that Hunger Games was pretty good. Hopefully the rest of the films in the series will be even better! 😀

  4. Wish book movie: Uh………. Let me think…….. GG AND HS perhaps??? Also would love to see the Uglies ‘trilogy’ of like five books:)

      • I love the Uglies trilogy too but I don’t want it to get ruined by silly girlish teenagers (not talking about all girlish teenagers – just the silly ones) idolizing over David or Croy or Peris or whatever.

  9. My favorite movie that’s not adapted from a book is probably Now You See Me. Though Avengers and almost any of the recent X-Men movies work too. I haven’t seen the movies yet, but the adaptations for City of Bones, Vampire Academy, and Divergent look awesome! I want to see the adaptation of Ruby Red by Kierstin Gier, but it’s only in German at the moment. I did not like the Percy Jackson and Beautiful Creatures adaptations. There are so many books I wish would be made into movies. Some awesome ones would be any of Ally’s books (obviously), Cinder by Marissa Meyer, the Lux and Covenant series by Jennifer L Armentrout, and the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa!

    • You’re serious? As in The Narnia Chronicles books? I always thought the Silver Chair came next but it would be great to see the film.

  13. Hi, it been a long whale, I really like Beautiful Creatures for movie. I like the Hunger Games I did not like Harry patter book #6 because they forgot the big final battle in the courtyard. I wish they would make mark of Athena in to a movie.

  14. My favorite movie is the Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan.
    I like the Harry Potter movies based on the books but I actually haven’t read the books yet…(I will though!).
    I really haven’t read a lot of books that have been turned into movies but that ones I have read were pretty good, so I don’t know which one I didn’t like.
    I’m really looking foward to the Maze Runner and Catching Fire movies but I think a movie based on Sarah Dessen’s “The Truth About Forever” would be cute, or any of her books really. And, of course, I’m super excited about the possibility of HS and GG movies!!

  15. YOU’VE READ PRINCESS BRIDE TOO???? Whenever I mention it everyone looks at me like I’m crazy and says “that’s not a book. It’s a movie.”

    Reply

  18. Okay well I posted a comment but it’s not here or awaiting moderation so I guess I’ll do it again. And is it just me or are there suddenly less questions. Maybe I’m going crazy.

    1. School of Rock or Rain Man or Perks of Being a Wallflower or the Heat
    2.the Graceling series. Like a lot

  19. Fav movie: Uh…this is tough…I love action! So the pirates of the caribbean series, Warm Bodies, Jack the Giant Slayer, Harry Potter, X-men…I Have many favorites! 🙂

    I would love to see the Divergent book series be turned into movies ( i think they are making movies already though! ) The Unwanteds ( Awesome Book!!! ) and of course…drum roll please…GALLAGHER GIRLS AND HEIST SOCIETY!!!

    Reply

    • The Divergent Movie will be out 3/21/2014. They are working on the script for Insurgent.

      I personally want Uglies made into a movie. I always saw GG as more of a TV series, but am excited about the possible movie anyway.

      Reply

  20. Okay my favorite movie is the Parent Trap of course. I totally think the Gallagher Girl series and Heist Society should be movies. But I think the Mother Daughter Book Club should be too.

    Reply

    • I love the Mother Daughter Book Club!
      My fave movie: The Mummy or The Return of the Mummy (the 3rd movie wasn’t even about a mummy!)
      My book- movie wish: Hattie Big Sky, Princess Academy, HS (of course but I haven’t read GGs yet), Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer, and the list goes on!

  22. Favorite Movie
    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Based on a game)

    Book(s) I wished were a movie
    Any of the Pern series by Anne McCaffrey
    The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
    and of course I’m praying for GG and HS movies

  23. My favorite movie EVER is the Lord of The Rings. Which I guess makes it my favorite book turned into a movie. I think that it would be amazing if someond turned the Tamora Pierce books into movies.

    Reply

  24. My favourite movie must be Mannequin. Its kinda old but I love it anyway and the book I most wish to be made into a movie (other than all of the GG & HC ones) would have to be The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan 🙂

    Reply

  26. My favorite movie of all times has to be Pitch Perfect and the best movie adaptation of a book has to be HUNGER GAMES!

    Reply

  27. I don’t really have a favorite movie.

    For movies based on books, I really want the Uglies series made into movies. I know everyone is excited about a possible GG movie, and i am too. I just can see GG as more of a TV series. I think it would have more potential that way, though more would need to be changed. It could have 6 seasons.

    I am really looking forward to the Divergent movie next year.

  28. Favorite Movies: THE GREAT GATSBY ! Now You See Me The Sandlot Pitch Perfect The Harry Potter Movies
    P.S. Have yet to see The Outsiders!

    Books i want to become movies: Of course The Gallagher Girls && The Heist Society ! As well as the Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu, White Cat Trilogy by Holly Black and the Dilirium Trilogy . There are more but these are all i can think of so far (:

  29. My favorite movie has to be Miracle on 34th Street. Either the original or the remake, I’ve watched it every year since I can remember and it never gets old. It is probably my whole family’s favorite movie being as we watch it at least twice every year, and is most likely the most watched DVD we own. A movie based on a book I liked has to be the hunger games. Some people say the book was better but in this case I felt the producers really brought the danger and reality of the arena experience to life. A movie based on a book that i did not like was The Lightning Thief. When I had read the book I was completely wrapped up in it the whole time, but watching the movie was nothing like reading the book. Maybe my imagination had let me down, but I felt that the movie was much different than the book. A book I wish they would make into a movie would have to be Plan B. This book is a book i found on an app called Wattpad, it allows the users of the app to write their own books and even though it is not a published book, it is a great book so far, I’m absolutely obsessed, and I get super excited whenever I see that the writer has added more to it.

  30. I don’t really have a favourite movie, but I love really old movies. My favourite book that was adapted into a movie is The Great Gatsby and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I really want to see Now You See Me (it only came out in Australia yesterday

    • I forgot to say what book I want turned into a movie. Heist Society (of course!) and bright young things by Anna Godbersen

  31. My favorite movie would be Twister. Even though it was made in 1996, the special effects are the best and I never get tired of it! I wish they would make the Matched series into a movie.

    Reply

  32. My fave movies are:
    1) Twilight Saga/ My Neighbour Totoro (un-dubbed)
    2) Harry Potter
    3) Pirates Of The Caribbean/ Kiki’s Delivery Service
    4) Snow White & The Huntsman

    I wish they would make Gallagher Girls/ Heist Society, Fallen Series, Matched Series, Heart-Shaped Bruise (Tanya Byrne), and Unrest (Michelle Harrison) into movies!
    G’Luck to all the producers!

  33. My favorite Disney Movies are Mulan & Treasure Planet, but overall I really like Sister Act, Pitch Perfect & Harry Potter. It would be awesome if Tomorrow Girls by Eva Gray was made into a movie.

    Reply

  34. My favorite movie is definitely How to Steal a Million starring Audrey Hepburn. Actually, it reminds me in many ways of Heist Society … if it had been written 50 years ago I would totally cast Miss Hepburn as Kat and Peter O’Toole as Hale.
    I wish they’d make a new adaptation of Pride and Prejudice (even though I LOVE the 1995 miniseries. *Sigh* Colin Firth) simply because A) I would then concoct a devious way to be in it and B) then people would have a new P&P and hopefully forget about the disaster that is the 2005 version. (Mrs. Darcy! Mrs. Darcy! Mrs. Darcy! Blech)

  35. My favorite movie is probably either Ocean’s 11 or The Bourne Identity. I wish that they would make the Maximum Ride series into movies though!!

  36. i wish divergent would be a movie, that would be so cool! but i have been wishing the gg and heist society would be made into movies since forever and a half plus a trip over the rainbow to infinity and beyond lol!

  37. My favourite movie is Twilight! Love it! Harry Potter is good to.
    I wish Gallagher Girls became a movie most of all! (I think Dakota Fanning would make a great Liz!)

  38. I really wish they would remake the first Percy Jackson movie they rely messed up in choosing the people for the movie witch really deleted half of their character. I also would like it if they made some of sarah dessen s books into movies or of course the Gallagher girls or heist society!!!!!!!

    Reply

  39. Harry Potter, even though I never read the books. Percy Jackson stunk. And want someone to make a HS or GG movie!

    Reply

  41. Inception is one of my favorite movies.
    I would DEFINITLEY remake the Percy Jackson movies.
    I would love to see Clockwork Angel on the big screen!

  44. Sorry, I know this is a late comment, but I just finished reading GG6 not too long ago, and I absolutely LOVE the Gallagher series!! I pretty much grew up with the characters and I was totally crying at the end! And I really really really think the Gallagher series would be an amazing TV show! I think there’s just too much detail to fit all into a trilogy movie series… I think a tv show would do it justice better than a few movies; I mean theres six books so some stuff will most likely be taken out and changed and what not if it was in movies. But of course I would love to see GG in any form but I just wanted to put it out there. Love your books ally! Can’t wait for all the great ones to come 🙂

  45. I don’t really have a favorite but I love the Harry Potter series. I also like Pitch Perfect, Both Percy Jackson’s, the Parent Trap (both old and new), the second Hunger Games, and… the two St Trinians films.

    Other than GG and HS, the books/series’ I’d like turned to films are the
    Darcy Lock trilogy (Julia Golding)
    Uglies trilogy (Scott Westerfield)
    Soulfinder trilogy (Joss Stirling)
    Ruby Redfort series (p.s. I love Ruby Redfort by Lauren Child)
    Laura Marlin Mysteries (Lauren st John)
    And finally… the Storm Warning horse trilogy (by Lauren St John)

    Long list huh
