Re: Shhhh! Book to Film Sheep
Welcome to Book to Film Sheep. Let's get things underway, shall we.
Question 1:
S: What is Stanely Kubrick's best film based on a novel?
First, the wrong answer. Most people who picked this said they knew it was wrong, but figured it would be the overwhelming answer. Did it pay off?

Question 2:
S: What book to film translation was the biggest flop?
Lots of unique on this one, too bad it wasn’t a reverse.

Re: Shhhh! Book to Film Sheep
Way to bootsy those dunks. 
I just figured it was a recent and prominent flop, though it's probably not a superobvious book adaptation.
I made a late change from Wonka to Potter, with a brief thought of Oz. Kind of a wash any way I could have gone.

One person specified a Harry Potter book, but I said in the beginning that I would combine things like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter under the series banner.

Question 4
R: What theatrical movie adapted from a Stephen King novel (careful, I said novel) did Stephen King act in?
This question was unfair. With only two correct answers, it became a matter of rolling the dice on which of the two would be the least popular. And if you didn’t pick one of the correct two, then you were really going to take a penalty. It’s horrible, just like a Stephen King novel.
Now some people figured this was the place to use a slam dunk:

Re: Shhhh! Book to Film Sheep
It's Sheep. You are going for the most popular answer. Had Harry Potter never been made into a film series, do you think people would have picked the fourth or sixth Harry Potter book or would they say "The Harry Potter Series"? People have picked series so far, but if someone was to pick, for example, "Return of the King", I would place that with people who picked "The Lord of the Rings" series.
