"The wedding episode from Outlander. From the marriage ceremony to the end of the night. If ya know, you know..."

"The rest of the movie is a complete departure from the book, but Calcifer being forced to cook eggs and saying 'I hope your bacon burns' was spot on!"

"The scene where Dobby dies and Harry digs Dobby's grave in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter. Even the tombstone that reads 'Here lies Dobby, a free elf.'"

"The introduction of Katniss and Peeta in the chariots! With that music...I cried the first time I saw it. It was so special!"

"When Dany's dragons are born. Perfection."

"When Thomas runs into the maze. And the 'great, now we’re all bloody inspired' from The Maze Runner."

"It's this huge, iconic moment in the books that plays a huge role in Katniss's story later. They did an excellent job capturing the macabre beauty of Rue's death, complete with flowers hiding her fatal wound. Absolutely a breathtaking scene."

"When Tris described the Dauntless compound in the book, it perfectly fit with how they portrayed it in the movie."

"As Katniss enters the arena and then the games begin. The chaos was palpable."

"Absolutely hysterical. It perfectly captures how Alaska and her memory unites Culver Creek. From the Weekday Warriors and the main characters working together, to getting Miles’s dad on board, to the kickoff of the prank as Lara starts yelling: it’s perfect! And the part afterwards where The Eagle comes out and they think he’ll be mad, but he just laughs and says, 'it sounds like she wrote it herself' was exactly what i pictured in the book!"

"I love the juxtaposition of the distraught Harry clutching Cedric's body while the clueless crowd in the stands are cheering at them for completing the maze. Then slowly the cheers fade as the crowd realizes Cedric's dead, then finally Cedric's father's face slowly turning from delighted to distraught as he realizes what's happened to his son. It gives me chills every time I watch it."

"Most of the film of No Country for Old Men, but mostly the opening scene with the antelope hunt. So on track with the book for like 85% of the film."

—fstalkie

"Jennifer Lawrence’s panic, the perspective switch to President Snow realizing he can use him against her, his fatigue afterwards, etc. It was EXACTLY how you’d imagine it to be from the book."

"The very first scene in the show. It is a perfect kickoff for what’s to come and introduces us to our main character while also getting so detailed. A perfect book-to-show scene."

"The three months that Bella just sits in her room. The book was just three pages: October, November, December. When the movies were coming out, I was so curious to see what they would do. They did it in such an awesome way! Just circling around her!"

—k4d8783368

"Amandla Stenberg and Algee Smith did a great job portraying Starr and Khalil. They captured the feelings of the book characters really well!"

"The tunnel scene. I cried watching it, both because of the scene and because of the adaptation of the scene."

—appreciato_the_potato

"The final scene in Dead Poets Society where they stand on their desks to honor Mr. Keating. I cried when I read it in the books and cried even more when I saw it in the movie."
