Now in theatres....

I've compiled a list of movies that are currently in theatres that are based on books (I know some of them are old, but I went by moviefone.com's "now in theaters list"). I've spent a few hours researching each movie to make sure it is in fact based on a book. If I've gotten anything wrong, or if I've missed any, please let me know in a comment, and I'll update the list.

Please note, I intend to add descriptions of each movie as soon as I get a chance.
