Meridian
Most interesting/Complex character: Alyosha
from The Brothers Karamazov.

Best Quotation: Father Zosima from The Brothers Karamazov, speaking of
secular humanists: They aim at justice, but denying Christ, they will end by
flooding the earth with blood.
Best Subtitle: The Evening Redness in the West from Blood Meridian
Best film adaptation: Quite easily, Gone with the Wind.
I just watched it on the big screen, for a 75th anniversary special

1960 version I randomly picked was pretty horrible.
