Name a movie that turned out to be equal to or better than it's original book version

[Milk N Cookies]

Let sit in on this cause every book that was made into a movie that I've seen is so trash.

 

[TKOK]

I can definitely see that movie being better than it's book predecessor





Seriously?

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is at least equal to it's book. The book starts out boring as fukk with all the libel stuff, movie cut that down to like 10 minutes of screen time.

Princess Bride

American Psycho
Jurassic Park

It's been a while, but I remember liking the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring better than the book.

I think Hunger Games has been a great adaptation so far.

No it has not, hunger games in the book is about light skin/black people being oppressed not cacs. They changed the race so cacs can relate

Gone Girl was a great book but the movie

I don't think Katniss was black in the book, but she was darker. I think like she was probably more like the Appalachian people with the skin tone. But yeah, Jennifer Lawrence was the "safe" aesthetic choice.

Storywise I mean, I've liked it.

like I said book was based on light skin/black people or let's say dark skin people being oppressed, cacs would never allow the movie to be made like the book... Because I don't remember but cacs were being the oppressor if I am being right about that, and cacs can't admit to how they treat people us Africans.

The Prestige - The film is MUCH better than the book.

The books are mildly amusing... the movie is actually funny.

Nobody mentioned The Godfather yet? At times the book reads like a pure pulp novel with outrageous subplots (like Sonny's mistress and her big vagina problems) that have no business being there.
