Let's get started!


1) Pitch Perfect/Pitch Perfect by Mickey Rapkin



2) Legally Blonde/Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown



3) Mrs. Doubtfire/Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine



4) The Parent Trap/Lottie and Lisa by Erich Kästner



5) The Shawshank Redemption/Different Seasons by Stephen King



6) Psycho/Psycho by Robert Bloch



7) Clueless/Emma by Jane Austen



8) How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days/How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days: The Universal Don'ts of Dating by Michele Alexander and Jeannie Long



9) The Birds/The Birds by Daphne Du Maurier


10) Cruel Intentions/The Dangerous Liasons' by Pierre Chorderlos de Laclos



I was shocked my 90% of these. Literally. I only knew about Pitch Perfect. There's a part 2 coming next Monday!
