As the Guide to Pratchett's Written Works has been a success, I thought fans might find it handy to have another thread dedicated to Pratchett on the big screen.

So above is a work in progress on which his novels I know were adapted over the years.

Great idea. You could put them in chronological order, within the same categories though.

Thanks Mal! I originally thought the order should be when each book was published but the year each film was made seems better alright.

Should I put up links, to it's wiki page for example? I'd avoid links to/mention of where it can be bought as that's advertising, whether meant to be or not.

Yeah, I think wiki and imdb is ok - unless you want to painstakingly write your own descriptions.

Huzzah! As much as I love the DW books, I still have a very special fondness for Good Omens, it was my first...
