|
 | Captains Courageous
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.74 When Kipling was hot. Fantastic 1937 movie on the novel. Not entirely respectful of Kipling's thematics but none the less entertaining.
|
 | The Man Who Would Be King and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics) by Rudyard Kipling
Buy new: $8.76 / Used from: $0.97 This short story often is published along with other short stories. Parable of English Imperialism. A great emblematic story.
|
 | The Man Who Would Be King
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $10.97 One of John Houston's best movies. Respectful of Kipling's novella, it focuses specifically on the friendship between Dravot and Carnehan and on Kipling's masonic ideals.
|
 | Gunga Din and Other Favorite Poems (Dover Thrift Editions) by Rudyard Kipling
Buy new: $2.00 / Used from: $0.01 An anthology of Kipling favorites
|
 | Gunga Din
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $12.42 When Kipling was hot. Inspired by Kipling's poem, a classical, Hollywood Raj movie. Today, politically incorrect, depicts the childlike loyalty and surpassing bravery of a native water carrier for the British army in India.
|
 | The Jungle Book
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.69 Classical(1942) interpretation mainly of two JB stories, dealing with Mowgli and men and the village. The meaning of the JB is there, but the plot is transformed to make the story attractive for all audiences of those times. Must be seen, Sabu at his best.
|
 | The Jungle Book (Limited Issue)
Buy used from: $16.53 Mowgli and the Beasts. The golden standard of the modern childhood vision of Kipling Hollywood has given to the world. I like to think that music takes the place of the poems between the chapters of the book. I think Kipling would have approved of this version. "A bear necessity" is one of the catchiest songs I remember from my childhood.
|
 | The Jungle Book 2
Buy used from: $2.56 The Disney sequel, the characters are perfect, the story is only a romp in the Jungle, but its entertaining non the less. "A bear necessity" is still here.
|
 | Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story
Buy used from: $0.01 Modern 1998 adaptation of the First Jungle Book. Features talking animals and a modern dialogue. Some wolves turn against Mowgli, Bagheera is a female, Kaa is missing and poor Kipling is turning around in his grave. Maybe entertaining for very young children...
|
 | Rikki Tikki Tavi/Yankee Doodle Cricket
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $3.99 The original story can be found in the Second Jungle Book. Unfortunately all children illustrated versions are either abridged or the language has been simplified. This animation is beautiful and scarry. Very true to the original story, read by Orson Wells.
|
 | The White Seal/A Cricket in Times Square
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.01 Beautiful Chuck Jones 1980 adaptation of The White Seal from the Second Jungle Book. Narrated by Roddy McDowell, Beethoven music. True to the story.
|
 | Elephant Boy
Buy used from: $1.80 From the Second Jungle Book. Reinterpretation of Toomai of the Elephant's. Sabu was a favourite for interpreting films inspired by Kipling's tales.
|
 | Kim (Penguin Classics) by Rudyard Kipling
Buy new: $7.00 / Used from: $2.04 Probably Kipling's best novel.
|
 | Kim
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $7.97 The first version of the book. Became a childhood classic. Great interpretations of many good actors. Errol Flynn steals the movie.
|
 | Kim
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $11.49 More modern and attinent version of the book. I wonder why they couldn't choose a real tibetan lama. O'Toole's lama is at the most peculiar.
|
 | The Light That Failed by Rudyard Kipling
Buy new: $9.90 / Used from: $9.67 A novel of failure, the heroes, all the characters, the British Empire. A movie was made from this novel that is not on the commercial circuit "The Light that Failed" (1939), director William Wellman.

|
 | Wee Willie Winkie
