question?

I just googled a list of the question you posed ( dont tell Brian) and read through 100 movies made from books ( I dont consider that cheating since it is our choices and the reasons we like them that matters not the strength of our memmory) and I was surprised that a) so many films I loved were made from movies (and I was unaware) and b) so rarely did the movie surpass the book....Further, I seem to usually have read or seen the movie, much less so have I done both.....im such a loser baby..so why dont you...

So...Do you need to have read the book and seen the movie to include it on the list?
(If so Im fu....ed)
