Film Adaptation Choice

I'm a little torn between a new story and one we've already read. I can see how "Hills Like White Elephants" could easily be maneuvered into a film; relatable even to those who haven't experienced abortion because everyone has relationship problems and their story would be an example. As I read it, it sounds like it is a scene from a play or movie. 

I'm also drawn to  Angel Levine although I haven't decided if the story would be more of a fantasy/indulged story, there'd have to be a way to keep it from being cheesy. It reminds me of a story from a childhood book almost, or an animated film. (Which usually are geared towards kids so the angel smoking is somewhat of a dilemma.)

I like that we're able to choose from more than just the first week, but at the same time it is difficult to choose a new story without reading it; which means reading a lot of new stories just to decide.
