Feature Presentation…MONDAY MOVIE MEME
This week’s movie topic is all about Books In The Movies… today’s movie topic is all about books in the movies. Not movies made from books, but movies that feature books, reading, librarians, bookstores and the like.
There are so many choices! Fun week 🙂
1. The Breakfast Club (1985) A whole Saturday locked in a library? Sign me up!
2. You’ve Got Mail (1998) A cute romance featuring the big bad bookstore taking out the small independent bookstore.
3. The Book of Eli (2010) This post apocalyptic world is a dangerous place and the power is found in The Book.
4. The Proposal (2009) This hate/love relationship between a publishing editor and her writer/assistant is a bestseller.
5. Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) This classic has a few great New York Public Library scenes. I love the one where Paul Baby signs his own book in front of the disbelieving librarian!
Do you have a favorite? Visit The Bumbles for more choices.

I love The Breakfast Club and Breakfast at Tiffany’s! I can watch them again and again.
Me too, and I have 🙂
Breakfast Club! Classic. I thought about doing the Book of Eli…but I Didn’t like that one so decided against it. Great choices!
I enjoyed Eli.
Great list, Stacy!
I almost put Breakfast at Tiffany’s on my list but then I forgot too! ugh! I love this movie, good choice.
The Proposal is one I haven’t seen so I’ll have to put that on my Netflix queue. The Book of Eli is a good list movie, too.
This was a fun theme!
I think you’ll like The Proposal.
I remember loving The Breakfast Club!
I cannot even guess how many times I have that movie. One of my all-time faves.
great list–my favorite out of them was “the proposal” Kaye—the road goes ever ever on
It’s a fun one.
That’s right – I love that scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s! That’s just a fabulous movie all around.
That scene always amkes me laugh.
Well now I know that I should have woken up before I attempted to participate in this. I have watched The Book of Eli no less than 10 times and I LOVE that darn movie. All I came up with was Ghostbusters lol

I never would have thought of Ghostbusters!
You’ve Got Mail is the perfect movie for that question.
It was such an obvious choice I almost didn’t list it 🙂
Good choice on Breakfast Club…I would ha e been the nerd reading in the background the whole movie.
Me too. After I got done flirting with the rebel 🙂
I loved them all except for 3 and that’s only because I haven’t watched it!
It’s a love it or hate it movie.
I keep pushing The Book of Eli farther down my Netflix queue. I need to watch the movie soon uh?
I just love me some Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail. Every time I watch the movie I keep thinking something will happen so she can keep her little store open.
I walked into a closing Borders just the other day and got a lump in my throat.
Hugs!
Walking into closing bookstores always makes me sad too. But happy for all of the bargains I get to bring home 🙂
I really like The Proposal. I think I watched it twice or three times.
