Have you seen either of these movies?

They are based on the books by the fantastic Terry Pratchett.

The IMDB-links:
CoM: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1079959/
Hogfather: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765458/

Personally, I both like them, although Hogfather was too much of a Christmas/children's movie.

They kept the humour of the books intact and David Jason as Rincewind (the Wizzard) is really good!!

Discussion is open!

I havent watched the Hogfather but I would of enjoyed the Colour of Magic much more if I had not read the books it was based on. It was entertaining but I felt it added too much new stuff and didn't keep to the book as much as I would have liked. Although I realise that it is not possible to do this when transferring books to a film or television programme and my hopes were maybe a little too high as I was wanting something that followed the book completely.
