waiting for the myriad of "I so obviously knew that" responses in 3.... 2....

Okay, that's a pretty shitty list seeing as how most are pretty well know books/authors, most of which I've read.

First Blood. Read it.
The Thing/Who Goes There. Read it.
Who Framed/Censored Roger Rabbit: Read it.
Psycho. Read it.
Dr. Strangelove/Red Alert. I've heard about the connection before but never read the book.
Planet of the Apes. Read it.
Death Wish. This one was news to me.
Die Hard/Nothing Lasts Forever. Also news to me.

I knew about all of those (sorry), and have read some of them.

That article was pretty funny. I didn't know about Rambo and Die Hard.

And the Death Wish novel is about as boring as can be. 150 pages of Paul Kersey sitting around his apartment with a gun in his hand.

I had no idea about Roger Rabbit or Die Hard.

About Roger Rabbit:

TheNightFlier

I never knew Die Hard was based on one.

Zen Peckinpah

I've read First Blood, and it's a great book.

...and 1.

TheNightFlier

Did you forget what board you were posting on?

I would think a good number of movie buffs know these.

I was well aware of all of them except Dr. Strangelove...in fact, like the other poster, I'd also read most of the books.

The only two I didn't realize were books are Dr. Strangelove and Death Wish. I'd be curious to check out that Bloch-written "Psycho II," though.
