Be sure to add these Daphne du Maurier Movies to your show list. I’m a little old-school. A bit of an old soul maybe. I tend to like what other people don’t, I like things that aren’t popular. In fact, when it becomes too popular, I’m out. Haha. These movies will not disappoint. There is a level of intrigue and mystery in each one that will keep you wanting more.
Just like in her books, her movies always have a twist that you never see coming, and this is what keeps me coming back for more. I wish more of her books were movies; so if you are a reader you’ll definately want to check out this reading list of recommendations as well.
I’m a huge fan, I’m just hooked. I own almost all of her books and have seen all the movies and each version of them. I still haven’t been to Cornwall yet but that is still a dream in the making. She bases many of her stories here and the way she writes about it has made me fall in love.

I’ll keep updating this list in the hopes more of her books become movies! House on the Strand is my vote for one that should be a movie. If you want to read any books, start with this one! It involves time-travel.
