Name shows/movies that are better then the books they came from?

[valet]

I've heard "No Country" is better then the book but I haven't read it.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Jaws
Misery (book is great too. Kathy Bates tho is so good in the movie)
The Godfather (arguably. Book is fantastic but the movie brings it to life).

I knows there's more.

 

[Luke Cage]

None
books are always better
If these screenwriters could write a best selling book, they wouldn't be screenwriters. They'd be JK Rowling
and have other screenwriters adapting their work to film. People just prefer one medium over the other

Jurassic park movie > film.

I read the book after having seen the film, but the film executed it better overall

 

[AquaCityBoy]

The Boys, from what I've heard.

I've never actually watched The Boys TV show, but I have read the comics, and the comics are hot fukking .

 

[Milk Man]

Carrie (76’)

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

Children of Men

I didn't know Forrest Gump was based off a book as a kid, but when I found out years later, I read it...and the book is more retarded than Forrest is in the movie.

Movie is way better.

The Boys, Garth Ennis is an edge lord and hates superheroes. But bro made the best Punisher run ever.

The Man in the High Tower. I know the book is a classic so it's really more a question of personal taste, but I just couldn't really get into it. Turns out I loved the series.

Jaws and Fight Club. I read both those and liked their movies much more. I barely remember Fight Club but Jaws I was really not happy with.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

American Psycho

 

[Tj Bronson]

Oh, for shows Dexter qualifies. At least those first 4 seasons. I did not care for the 3 books in that series that I read.

 

[MidniteJay]

Starship Troopers. Like the director I tried to read it but gave up out of
