I'm rather picky about spelling and grammar with myself and others. In general, I like books more than I do movies. In fact, most of the movies I do watch are based on a book. I've also gotten into the habit of reading the novelizations of movies that I really like. I'm also a big geek for anime and manga, as well as American comics (or graphic novels, if you're going to be picky about it). I'm also a big, screaming fangirl of the Harry Potter series--both books and movies--and the Doctor Who series (the new who; I haven't seen any of the old episodes). Generally, though, I'm more inclined to like the book versions more than the movie versions.

1.
Memoirs of a Geisha
PG-13
This is one of the best movies I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. There's so much to say about it. It's both emotionally and intellectually stimulating--the love story between Sayuri and the Chairman, and the wonderfully interesting culture presented. And, while it doesn't follow completely with the book, I love it whole-heartedly.
2.
Marie Antoinette
PG-13
This is amazing. It's so interesting to see Marie Antionette as human, rather than seeing her as some insanely selfish and cruel queen. It makes me want to read the book that spawned the movie.
3.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)
PG
I'll be honest, I watched the movie before I read the books. I liked the movie well enough the first time I saw it, but wasn't really impressed. Then, I read the books and fell in love. I have many gripes that I won't address; I'll just say that the book is more complete and enjoyable than the movie. Though I do think casting was done wonderfully--especially with Alan Rickman as Snape.
4.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
PG
I like this one a little bit more than the others in the series because it has more of my favorite character, Ginny Weasley.
5.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
PG
I enjoyed the introduction of Sirius Black and thought Gary Oldman was wonderful as him. I wasn't pleased with how they handled the Malfoy scene--the one where Hermione is supposed to slap Malfoy, rather than punch him--but, overall, it was a good one to watch.
6.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
PG-13
I loved this movie--and the book, actually. I'm conflicted as to whether or not I'm happier about the book version or the movie version. One of the scenes I'm most conflicted about is the gillyweed scene. I'm not sure if I like Neville giving it to him (as he does in the movie) or Dobby. They both have a certain charm. Though I will say one thing I didn't like about the movie was the glossing over of the Quidditch World Cup and the changing of the seating arrangements. I also think casting did well this one too.
