Can you think of any time...

The film was miles better than the book?

Cause I'm struggling!

Fight Club. Good book but better movie.

The Passion Of The Christ.

Hard Evidence. Pleased

The Godfather
Jaws
The Shining
The Exorcist

...first four that come to mind. (And I'm presuming we're talking about films which were adapted from original books, rather than novelisations of films. ;) )

The Passion Of The Christ.

It did make it more entertaining than religion class made it.

Graham Greene's Third Man has got a rushed feel about it whereas the film is wonderful.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was a short story which became Blade Runner.

Now, if only they could make a film better then the video game it's based on.

The Passion Of The Christ.

Ha!

Yeah, mainly sci-fi. Bladerunner for one.

The Joy of sex.

The Joy Of Steve Sunshine.

The Joy-Luck Club 18-30.

Bladerunner was good but I still loved "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep". It's one of my favourite books.

:D

It was a pretty bad book, but I think the movie was even worse.
