My original post asked for both : books that became fims and films that became
books. Evidently,I am confusing some people with my HIT earlier so here it is
again- with a more descriptive subject line.
Well, here are the results. I was really hoping there would be more films that
later became books, but I guess that doesn't happen too often. I have a high
school, so don't have some of these titles, but I included them all so that those
elem. people could use them.
Thanks to all who helped.
All of the Star Wars and Star Trek books fit that description

Fantastic Voyage (novelized by Isaac Asimov)
"Hook" was made into a book.
I just did a search of "novelization" and came up with many hits, mostly
individual, a few magazine articles. Powell's Bookstore website has a page called
"Powell's Books - Film and Television-Novelization " with 42 titles listed, but
it's not entirely accurate--I know Brokeback Mountain existed in print before it
was a movie, for instance, so that's not a novelization.
I think School Ties was a movie before it was a book. You'll have to check on
that. I had it in my middle school library. Also, Buffy the Vampire Slayer-- they
were books after they were a TV show. I know it's not exactly what you're looking
for, but I thought I'd offer it up. :)
