This is a query close to my heart, but I seem to be blanking tonight. Still, I'd add to the list two Coppola adaptations of S.E. Hinton works: The Outsiders Rumble Fish . . . the adaptation of the Richard Wright text . . . Native Son . . . and the dated but still dead on Steinbeck adaptation East of Eden . . . then, if you've got the guts for distaff dystopia, there's King's Carrie -- not written for adolescents, but assimilable by them, and cut to the quick. I like these texts/films for the variance in adaptation (the cuts in the Steinbeck, the softening in the Wright, the stylization in the Hinton . . . ) as well as for the issues they raise for discussion. They are also interesting for the differences between the time of the film adaptation and the time of the viewing -- what dates and what does not. It's amazing what students relate to and what they find old hat. Or maybe it just amazes me. Shari ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/screensite
