There are adaptations that have become iconic and others you’ve never heard of. Today we’re focusing on some of the best. 11.22.63 (2016) Every boomer’s fantasy comes to life This Hulu miniseries is about a teacher (James Franco) who is given the opportunity to go back in time and prevent the assassination of President John F.
