It is important to note that many works now considered classic literature today weren\u2019t classics when they were released: they were merely popular books, the hottest craze that critics loved (or hated). But the studios knew what stories could sell, and if they could make it in the literary world, then there was a strong possibility that the movie would also be successful. <strong><em>Gone With the Wind<\/em><\/strong>, <em>Alice and Wonderland <\/em>(1903), and <strong><em>Casablanca<\/em><\/strong> are early examples of popular novels that were turned into movies before the novels themselves were considered classics.

Keira Knightley takes on Jane Austen\u2019s Elizabeth Bennett, while Matthew MacFadyen is the aloof Mr. Darcy. Wright\u2019s <em>Pride &amp; Prejudice <\/em>isn\u2019t a faithful adaptation to Austen\u2019s beloved 1812 novel, as it chose to stray from the rigid nature of the Regency era and created a more youthful film. And perhaps this is why the film was so successful: it came out when Austen\u2019s work was actively being revisited and remodeled for contemporary audiences. While it may not have been 100% faithful, it created a movie geared to make Jane Austen more mainstream. Based on its costuming, the garments alone are enough to suggest it&#8217;s not a perfect Regency-era film, as it lacks the trademark high-waisted and modest gowns of that period. Nevertheless, the film was a success, earning Knightley her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n<!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"emma-2020\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Emma_2020\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">7 <\/span> Emma (2020)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:57.333333333333%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Emma-large.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Emma-large.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Emma-large.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Emma-large.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1500\" height=\"860\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Young woman and old man in early 1800s clothing stand side-by-side.\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Perfect World Pictures <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> <em><strong>Emma<\/strong> <\/em>is another Jane Austen adaptation that the world didn\u2019t know it needed.

Although this is just one man\u2019s tale out of millions of survivors, it still offers a glimpse into the horrific conditions slaves faced.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"if-beale-street-could-talk\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_If_Beale_Street_Could_Talk\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">2 <\/span> If Beale Street Could Talk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:66.69921875%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/10beale001-superJumbo-v2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/10beale001-superJumbo-v2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/10beale001-superJumbo-v2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/10beale001-superJumbo-v2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Man and woman face each other on street while under an umbrella \"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Annapurna Pictures <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> James Baldwin was one of the most influential Black writers of his time, and, in 2018, his novel <em><strong>If Beale Street Could Talk<\/strong> <\/em>was finally adapted into a movie. Barry Jenkins, the director of <strong><em>Moonlight<\/em><\/strong>, directed a tour de force that shed light on the New York City that Baldwin once fled to Paris from. A young couple must grapple with the racism of the 1970s, but it all suddenly becomes too real when Fonny (Stephen James), the boyfriend, is falsely accused of rape and sent to jail. Jenkins\u2019 adaptation is heavy-handed in its lush visuals and creates an immersive world, bringing Baldwin\u2019s words into a poetic movie for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! --><br \/>\n <span class=\"related-single\">Related: The Top 10 Black Movies of 2021<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"one-flew-over-the-cuckoo-39-s-nest\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_One_Flew_Over_the_Cuckoos_Nest\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">1 <\/span> One Flew Over the Cuckoo&#8217;s Nest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.631578947368%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ofotcn-feature-1.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ofotcn-feature-1.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ofotcn-feature-1.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ofotcn-feature-1.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1710\" height=\"900\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Group of men in white t-shirts stand around\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">\ufffcFantasy Films <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> <em><strong>One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest<\/strong> <\/em>was adapted from Ken Kesey\u2019s 1962 novel, and it was only the second film to ever win all five major Oscars at the Academy Awards. Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is transferred to a mental institution after the rape of a fifteen-year-old girl. This movie is absolutely brilliant as Randle rebels against the head nurse nad rallies his fellow patients together to fight against the poor treatment they\u2019re receiving. Despite the past of these men, they\u2019re still mistreated because of how they\u2019re seen as mentally ill, creating a powerful narrative that is timeless and still quite relevant today.\n <\/p>\n<p>        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Dont-Look-Up-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Dont-Look-Up-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"The cast of Don't Look Up looks up\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            <strong><span class=\"next-btn-text-title\">Marvel Fans Are Loving that Chris Evans Cameo in Don&#8217;t Look Up<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"next-btn-text-p\">Chris Evans steals the show with his brief cameo in Don&#8217;t Look Up, although some fans may not have even recognized the Captain America star.\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    <strong class=\"section-sub-title\">About The Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/619e555455e17-IMG_0967.JPG?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Ashley Hajimirsadeghi<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(22 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Writer, author, and aspiring critic.
