I'm a little confused. Does the thread title mean books we think are better than the film (which isn't mentioned in the body of the post), or just films based on books?

Just a playful title, not a requirement.

^I think those are wider than 200 pixels.

Missed that multiple entries were allowed, so here's this:

Contact

And since what would an avatar contest be without at least one rule-bending entry, also this (if it's allowed):

Forbidden Planet

 

[Nerys Myk]

I'll allow it because I love Forbidden Planet.

 

[auntiehill]

Harry Potter

True Blood

Those are great avs, but they're 245 pixels wide and the max size for the contest is 200 x 200.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that applied gifs too, I thought that was just for stills, and the 1MB was for gifs.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

So, you wanna re-do these gifs in the right size and re-enter them? Cause I'd say you got some good ones there.

 

[JD]

I tried edit them on both my computer's paint program, and on Photobucket, and they both turned them into stills, and neither of them worked where it stopped them.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Try ezgif.com. It's what I use, it's online (so you don't have to download any software), and it's free.

 

[JD]

I appreciate the offer, but I don't really feel comfortable downloading stuff directly off my computer to a site I don't know.
I swear I've edited gifs before, either on photobucket or my computer, but I can't remember how.
EDIT: I got them off of photobucket instead of my computer.

 

[JD]

OK, now I'm getting pissed. I resized them, and I'm saving them at the new size, my computer's image info says they are the new size, but when I upload them to Photobucket, they are the original size.
