 Our pick of the best book to film and TV adaptations of all time
==========

One Day, David Nicholls's 2009 novel, is being adapted into a 14-part series coming to Netflix on February 8. The series will reimagine Nicholls's love story, previously adapted into a 2011 film. Other notable book adaptations include Dune, The Godfather, Call Me By Your Name, Normal People, and Big Little Lies. Denis Villeneuve successfully adapted Frank Herbert's Dune into an Oscar-winning sci-fi film. Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Mario Puzo's The Godfather is considered a classic. Luca Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name launched Timothée Chalamet's career. Normal People, based on Sally Rooney's novel, became a mega-hit with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal in the lead roles. Big Little Lies, based on Liane Moriarty's novel, was a successful TV series starring Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. Other notable adaptations include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Game of Thrones, Wuthering Heights, and Pachinko.
