100 Classics and beyond... discussion

I'm more than halfway through the novel, and I'm really loving it.
And I already have 3 film adaptations lined up after :)

How about you ?

2004 film (trailer) - starring Josh Duhamel - it will be interesting to see him with blonde hair

The book is the best. I watched half of 1945 and wasn't believing it and so I watched 2009 and was a little freaked out by a few scenes which were not in the book. Although Colin Firth was amazing as Lord Henry. He's the reason I finished the film.

ohhh, yess. i am so looking forward to it! i can already hear lord henry's lines being said by colin firth. i'm currently watching the 2004 version starring josh duhamel, but im so disappointed they made basil a female

I really liked both versions of the movie. (2009 + 2004).. but if you're a purist, don't watch them. Colin Firth, especially, did a marvelous job as Henry, the novel's most interesting and fascinating character.

I think I'm saving the 1945 film for when I read the book again - which I'm pretty sure I will.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is certainly one of my most favorite classics.

Agree on Colin. Loved the book.
