Poll Suggestion: Graham Greene — Writer

Graham Greene was one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century and his influence on the cinema and theatre was enormous. Greene was one of the more "cinematic" of twentieth-century writers; most of his novels and many of his plays and short stories have been adapted for film or television. The Internet Movie Database lists 66 titles between 1934 and 2010 based on Greene material. Some novels were filmed more than once, such as Brighton Rock in 1947 and 2011, The End of the Affair in 1955 and 1999, and The Quiet American in 1958 and 2002. The 1936 thriller A Gun for Sale was filmed at least 5 times under different titles. Which is your favorite movie based on Graham Greene's work?

I really like this idea a lot and Graham Greene definitely deserves a poll -- he really was a great writer. I'm wondering why you chose these ten specifically: did you have criteria that you used? (For example, movies that got the most votes or with the highest IMDb rating or Metascore.)

Hi, thank you for your comment. I don't remember what was my criteria, but I usually got the movies from a Wikipedia list.
