Doctor Zhivago, Pride and Prejudice, or Romeo and Juliet. It is a well known fact that all these were based on literary works. The link connecting the films from this weekend‘s movie picks with books is the same - they are all film adaptations from books, except the literary derivations are less known in these instances.
