Top Five Non-Fiction Books to Turn Into Movies

Hey, everyone! Mike S here with another Top Five List! This time, I'm listing the Top Five Non-Fiction Books to Turn Into Movies!

1. "Hunting Eichmann" by Neal Bascomb- This is a really interesting and exciting book about a group of Holocaust survivors who joined forces with the newly formed Mossad to hunt down Adolf Eichmann and bring him to justice. It's an incredibly fascinating read, and I think it would make an equally fascinating movie.

2. "Gallipoli" by Alan Moorehead- I know a movie about Gallipoli has been made- but I think that this book would be a wonderful basis for another one. Just an amazing account of the tragedy that enshrouded the whole affair.

3. "The Murder of Napoleon" by Ben Weider & David Hapgood- I found this book to be a really unique and interesting examination of Napoleon's last years- and investigation into his mysterious death.

4. "The Murder of Tutankhamen" by Bob Brier, PhD- I first read this book in High School, and it helped get me interested in Egyptology. I think that this murder investigation would be fascinating to see play out on the big screen.

5. "Paris, 1919" by Margaret MacMillan- I have always been fascinated and interested in the First World War- especially the politics of how it started, and how the politics of its ending helped shape the world and conflicts we see around us today. This book illustrates it all beautifully, and I think it would make a great, dramatic piece of cinematic storytelling.

So, there you have my Top Five Non-Fiction Books to Turn Into Movies. I'd also recommend reading them too!

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
