	Roald Dahl is one of the greatest authors of all time. Any of his books could be made into great movies.

	You should probably accept The Big Friendly Giant for BFG

	My childhood would not be complete if it were not for Roald Dahl's books...

	Hmm, apparently I'm getting Danny and Leo confused. I guess Danny wasn't King of the World.

	Should accept Fantastic Mister Fox as well as Fantastic Mr. Fox. I feel like the time is right for a movie of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. I want to see a vermicious knid.

	Technically, 1971 isn't a correct answer to the question posed by the quiz "Can you name the Roald Dahl books that have been made into movies?". It's an answer to the question "Can you name the movies that were adapted from Roald Dahl books?". I missed 2005, since I wrongly believed the 1971 title was the title of the novel, and I just assumed there was some Johnny Depp movie of another Roald Dahl work. (I'm sure this is not likely to be a common mistake.)

	Um ... Rowan Atkinson? Not exactly the lead in that movie.

	Fun fact, he also wrote the screenplay for the James Bond movie "You only Live Twice," adapted from Ian Fleming's book.

	Steel03- Great Glass elevator is unlikely to be made. After Dahl saw the original Charlie and the chocolate facotry he hated it so much he banned anybody from ever making the sequel.

	Still, I do wish that Dahl hadn't banned making the sequel, and someone had made it.

	@sylak: I really doubt that that happened.

	Your Danny link on the results page is broken! Maybe it's changed since the quiz went up. It ought to go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny,_Champion_of_the_World

	Or... maybe those are automatically generated and you can't change them. Whoops. ;]

	Isn't Danny, the Champion of the World from 1989?

	Dumble:	May 15th, 2011 at 11:10 GMT	2 points
	Dahl is AMAZING!

	What about Roald Dahl's short stories that got made into movies like The Land Lady and Lamb for the Slaughter?

	I remember reading and watching the BFG in 4th grade with the class. Great fun it was.

	Fun fact, at one point Dahl was a lot like a real life version of James Bond. He may or may not have saved the world via sex.

	sylak: whilst it's true that Dahl was unimpressed with Willy Wonka, he stated only that he would not allow more film versions of that book during his lifetime. He died in 1990 and should someone wish to make Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, they could.

	Mademoiselle:	Mar 4th, 2012 at 19:39 GMT	2 points
	I can't think of anyone who could have played Willy Wonka better than Johnny Depp.

	I typed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and it gave me both. Rather disappointed there as the two films are definitely distinct and one shouldn't give you the other. It annoys me when people clarify "the old one" or "the new one" as the titles are different and shouldn't need clarification.
