How to approach it
Start from the printed side, not from a favourite film. Sweep broad shelves: literary novels, genre fiction, young-adult titles, memoirs, reportage, biographies and published plays all feed the film industry, so almost any well-known book is a candidate. Then test the link: was there a feature film, not merely a series, a stage revival or a documentary short? With a candidate in hand, prefer the one you can name precisely, exact title as printed, articles and subtitles included, because the reveal rewards recognisable but not ubiquitous entries. If two books come to mind, take the less obvious one; blockbusters cluster at the bottom of the scale while mid-list and translated titles sit higher.
Get a hint
Follow the most travelled pipeline first: novels that became feature films, including genre fiction, prize winners and titles that sold heavily long before anyone filmed them.
A little more
Widen beyond fiction: memoirs, biographies, accounts of real cases, essay collections and published plays have reached cinemas too, and the film often drifts far from the printed page.
One step further
Picture titles whose screen version overshadows the book, and works written in one tongue and filmed in a different one; the link only needs to be documented, not famous.

Why these answers count
Points here track almost entirely how many players landed on the same title. Household blockbusters were named so often that they settled at the floor of the scale, whereas the 85-point band is crowded with books that are real but rarely the first thing anyone thinks of: 1408, 1922, 3:10 to Yuma, 2 Guns, 101 Reykjavík, 4.50 from Paddington and 84, Charing Cross Road all sit there. The single 100-point entry, The Hound of Florence, marks the ceiling, an obscure source behind a famous film earning maximum rarity. That band also draws on titles from many countries and several idioms, which suggests translated and non-Anglophone books are the most dependable way out of the crowd. The 60-point tier holds 936 answers: recognisable titles that a fair number of players still reached. The practical rule is that the more canonical and widely printed the book, the lower the score, while the more precise, translated or half-forgotten the source, the higher it climbs.
