Thread: Books and movies based on them - Книги и их экранизации

I think you have to be born and bred in Russia to appreciate "Sorcerers"....

But what about Inhabited Island? (Обитаемый остров).

I watched it and wrote a review on this forum. I thought it was good. But I have not read any books by the Strugatsky brothers so I have no idea how it measurs up with the book.

FFFFUUUU...
The red toy tank was more than I could bear ...

There was Stalker by Tarkovsky based on the Roadside picnic by Strugatskie brothers. It's a rather good movie except for the fact its final was changed for some reason which I didn't like.
Here's the first version of the scipt (in Russian): http://rusf.ru/abs/books/mzh.htm I wish Tarkovsky shot this movie.

Sorry, but I never liked this movie somehow, even when I was a kid. The storyline is too stupid for my taste.

I was born and bred here but do not appreciate "Sorcerers" at all.

I didn't watched the movie (after reading some bad reviews) but the book is good.
