The season of Big Awards–for both books and movies–is quickly approaching, so we thought we’d combine them for this month’s reader poll. This time around, we want to know about your favorite movies based on books. These can be direct adaptations, loose “inspired by” interpretations, or, really, just about anything. If it’s a movie with any pieces that were first a book or short story, it’s fair game. It’s a tough question, so we’ll let you pick up to 3.

Submit your answers in the form below by Monday, November 24th. We’ll tally the results and share them soon.
