Some films, like \u003ci\u003eClueless\u003c\/i\u003e--Amy Heckerling's interpretation of Jane Austen's \u003ci\u003eEmma\u003c\/i\u003e--diverge wildly from the original source material, while others, like \u003ci\u003eOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest\u003c\/i\u003e, shift the point of view to craft a different experience within the same story. Author Kristen Lopez explores just what makes these works classics of both the page and screen, and why each made for an exceptional adaptation--whether faithful to the book or exemplifying cinematic creative license. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Other featured works include: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChildren of Men\u003c\/i\u003e -\u003ci\u003e The Color Purple\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eCrazy Rich Asians\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eDr. No\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eDune \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eGentlemen Prefer Blondes\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eKiss Me Deadly\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eThe Last Picture Show\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003ePassing\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eThe Princess Bride\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eThe Thin Man\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eTrue Grit \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eValley of the Dolls \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe Virgin Suicides\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKristen Lopez\u003c\/b\u003e is a pop culture essayist and TV editor for IndieWire.
