Not here and for good reason. While a couple of the films are arguably as good or even better than their individual books, the films quality wavers throughout the series and on the whole they are less satisfying than the books.

Either book or movie would be difficult to include, because of the experimental nature of both. The film was an achievement though.

I actually mentioned 2001. Kubrick and Clarke developed the story together and the book and film were made simultaneously to one another. So it doesn’t really fit. Though I highly encourage all praise for any of Kubrick’s work.

The movie takes many needed liberties from the book. For instance, in the movie, Bourne meets Marie (the love interest) just outside the American Embassy. He makes her a lucrative offer for a ride to Paris, where their relationship now has a chance to grow into the love it becomes. In the book, Bourne _kidnaps_ Marie, slaps her around quite a few times before she finally escapes. Bourne then rescues her from even worse dudes and Marie is struck with some bizarre form of Stockholm syndrome that causes her to fall madly in love with the man who mere hours ago was smacking her around.
