I think mine’s Z for Zachariah. The book is insane. A psychological survivalist thriller between a 14 year old girl and a strange man with unknown intent. The movie is… not this. They changed everything meaningful about the characters and lost all the tension. Hope someone does it properly one day. What’s your adaptation peeve?

I love the 1995 Scarlet Letter movie, but it's not remotely similar to the book.

That’s why Emma Stone’s character in easy A suggests watching the old version to do your book report. 😆

Easy A was a shockingly good movie
