Movies based on Books

Thanks to Sharon for this info:

We all know that lots of movies are based on books. There are quite a few movies due out in 2006 that are based on books (including The Da Vinci Code in May).

This link to a great book/movie database was submitted to an ALIA elist recently:

(From aliaREAD elist aliaread@lists.alia.org.au
I would recommend this comprehensive little database that lets you sort by Movie Title, Book Title, Year of Film Release or Author. (from a staff member of Auburn Library NSW))

It's really interesting to go into Movie Release Year and see the movies based on books that will be released this year. It will also be useful for Collections to plan ahead to purchase more copies of the books (if possible) before the movie is released.
