                    It's been mentioned already, but I'll second A Simple Plan. Such an amazing film, and the book is even better.

                      I think A Simple Plan and and a couple of the other titles mentioned are more along the lines of 'The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil' rather than 'Money can't buy happiness'.

                      Granted there is a crossover, but they're not the same sentiment.

                      I second Millions and A Christmas Carol.
