Lord of the Flies 2003
Being of an age where we did this for English O Level, and watched the original black and white version, I'm biased towards the original. The 2003 version isn't quite true to the book, and all the kids have an American accent (in the original, they're all English). The suspense isn't there for me and they've changed & added bits to it which presumably were added to keep the viewers interest. It didn't quite work for me, but if you've not seen or read the story before, its probably ok.
