    Snow white
    The hunchback of Notre Dam
    Mutiny on the Bounty

    ..anything with cowboys and Indians in it, gets my vote as well...

    I liked every Charles Dickens book that I have read, but didn't care for most of the movies based on his books.

    I'm an avid reader,..AVID...and not really a movie fan per se... but much as I enjoyed the books as a child, I'm the opposite to you, I prefer the films of Dicken's books... :)

    I will add the 3 'Thin Man' movies made in the 30's, starring William Powell.

    " Thin Man " 1934
    " After the Thin Man " 1936
    " Another Thin Man " 1939

    There were 3 more made in the 40s. Pretty funny stuff for the period.
