Maybe the Movie Producers in the 90s were trying to tell us something....

Sometimes things just take you by surprise.  It's like your understanding of the world shakes by one simple little fact. 

Example One:  Who knew marshmallow was spelled like marshamAllow instead of marshmEllo.  Not me.  No siree!

Other thing that took my by surprise?  My favorite movies from my teen years were all based on English Literature.  I kid you not.  Here are some examples:

1. Clueless:  Based on Jane Austen's Emma.  Excuse me?!
2. She's All That: Based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. 
3. 10 Things I Hate About You:  Based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew

Now that I'm settling into my old lady tendencies with staying at home on weekends, reading, and cuddling with the devil cat - I'm starting in on all the books my parents gave me when I was in college that they deemed "must reads for a liberal arts major".  (To be fair, I asked this of them one Christmas.)  So, I picked up Emma and it was shockingly familiar.  Oh, 90's movie producers, you knew the way to my old lady heart back when I was still young!  Thank you!  Since it is my personal belief that all books made into movies are better as books, I reccomend you pick some of these up.
