Movies similar to True Women, and The Christy Series?

Question

My movie collection has been growing thanks to being back online and seeing your suggestions. I'm hoping to find movies with a strong story line and sensual bond. Nothing too fluffy like a Danielle Steel adaptation. More so though like The Waltons, Christy, or anything with a true to life basis. Example: Fried green tomatoes

Answer 2

Well, firstly I'd be astonished that I'd even made it so far to have my idea brought to the screen. But after a miserable failure, I suppose I'd feel rather optimistic, and hope that it would give my fans the initiative to go back to/try out the books. Also, since authors have very little say in the production of films inspired by their respective works, I wouldn't feel too responsible, since the film adaptation wouldn't have been my creation. BQ: Which novel do you believe was a failure when adapted into a movie? -- I wish Wuthering Heights had had a better cast. They had planned a recent edition with Ed Westwick and Gemma Arterton, which I would have loved regardless of the execution, but it was unfortunately changed. I also think a lot of action films were skimping on all the prospective momentum the book had given them. Some of the Harry Potter films, to me, seemed a little bit passive in the sense that it couldn't really capture the intensity of what was happening. For example, in the Order of the Phoenix, I think the battle between the Order members, the Hogwarts students and the Death Eaters had the potential to be more ... epic, by a few degrees. Which novel do you believe was a huge success? (think that one is obvious) -- The Lord of the RIngs were pretty fantastic, I think everything was put together great for that. The score was amazing, the actors were perfectly suited (especially Orlando Bloom!) and the graphics were quite mind-blowing. BQ2: Which B&A question do you find the most annoying? -- I guess it would have to be the questions that seem to pop up all the time: "How do I show, not tell?" "Can a 14 year old get published?" "When do I use who and whom?" "Why are adverbs and semicolons bad?" It's just that these Askers could just type their question in the Y!A search bar and read the answers of previous Askers who had had the same question. Instead, they're wasting points and time in posting and waiting for answers. Also, I think B&A is more of an area for people who want to discuss literature, find different perspectives and opinions and interpretations of things; that's why I don't particularly like "homework"-asking people, either. There are members who think B&A is infested with authors who just do character-interviews and ask about their friends' novels, but although we do that, we're a hell-of-a-lot closer to the B&A mark than the others are! There's a "Homework Help" section, after all... BQ3: Tell me a song that has touched you in some way and I'll listen to it please?:) -- Can I mention four? (: 1. "Coming Home" - Diddy and Dirty Money: this song completely rewired my story and made it so much better. I owe it a lot. 2. "Tonight" - FM Static: this song provided the foundation and inspiration for my MC's best friend, Gray's, romance. 3. "Amazing" - Hedley: this song is just the best. I love it. It's calm and pretty and it totally describes my best friend Brandon. 4. "Wedding Dress" - Taeyang: you have to watch the video. It's so sad. It's about a guy whose best friend is marrying another guy, and it hurts him to see her get married.

Answer 3

Christy Tv Series

Answer 4

The Inheritance with Thomas Gibson

Little Women

Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Avonlea

Anne The Continuing Story (Three part series)

Sense and Sensibility (Hugh Grant, Kate Winslet)

Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman Series (TV show, all episodes available on youtube I believe)

Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightley)

Ever After (Drew Barrymore)



Hope this helps. I don't believe that any of these are rated over PG. Ever After might be rated PG 13, but if it is I'm not sure why. Enjoy!!

Answer 6

Reading a good reserve offers a richer experience and can leave you with remembrances that can last years

Answer 7

Reading the book instead of observing the movie is the ultimate way to see what the author intended. Reading uses your thoughts, hones your reading skills, and can better your vocabulary.
