<I>Eaters of the Dead</I> by Michael Crichton | |

<I>Twelve Angry Men</I> by Reginald Rose | |
<I>We Were Warriors Once and Young</I> by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore (Ret.) and Joseph L. Galloway | |
Crichton wrote <I>Eaters of the Dead</I> on a bet -- it´s an adaptation of the epic tale of <I>Beowulf</I>, which one of his friends wagered could not be turned into an exciting story. Apparently the film industry found <I>Eaters of the Dead</I> to be too graphic a title even for them.

<I>Clifford the Big Red Dog</I> by Norman Bridwell | |
<I>The Dogs of War</I> by Frederick Forsyth | |
<I>Black Dog</I> by Led Zeppelin | |
<I>American Hero</I> by Larry Beinhart | |
The movie adapts Beinhart´s conspiracy theory classic, in which George Bush (the elder) arranges to "produce" the Gulf War with the help of Hollywood to bring up his popularity, to a near-future, fictional administration. This is one of the many cases where the film, as good as it is, doesn´t measure up to the book.
