Name a movie adaptation that is better than the book…if there is one. ?
Devil wears prada
Totally agree with @Elaine – Bridget Jones for me too.
Up In The Air and Silver Linings Playbook
Life of pi
The Perks of being a Wallflower in my opinion, I found the book boring but the movie was moving
Flowers for alginon. Book was very crude in parts and I was glad to see the movie left them out.
Jaws.
The devil wears prada
All the Harry Potter books
Holes
Of mice and men
Charlie and the chocolate factory
The English Patient and The Constant Gardener. The scenic shots in the movie are awesome and acting is brilliant. I found the books a bit hard going.
Gone Girl
The witches
Fault in our stars
none – books are always better than the films
Jungle book.
All Harry Potters agree! Brought my imagination to life. But definitely not Of Mice and Men (sorry). Best ever book. Read it at school and it stayed in my heart forever!
Schindler’s List
Into the Wild. It’s a true story, so the book was a bit overwhelming with facts.
Sound of Music
Call the midwifes is pretty close to the book but is not a film its a tv show
Books and their interpretation into film all depends on scriptwriting and directing. Film is visual and will always change the feel of a book. I know Gregory peck was born to play Atticus finch in to kill a mockingbird….now that film was a perfect interpretation of the book.
Hmmm I love both, but I think I just prefer Jurrassic Park the film over the book.
Gone with the wind. Silver linings playbook. Only two I think are just a bit better
Definitely Out of Africa.
100 Foot Journey
Bridges of Madison County. Movie much better than overblown prose in book
True blood
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas
The Godfather
Film/ musical, but the king and I is so much better than the drab victorian verbose book on which it is based ! “An English governess in the Siamese court” by Anna Leonowens
Still Alice.
Sorry , Roma, those kids drove me bonkers in The movie.
Trainspotting
Hopefully the Under the Dome tv series will end better than the book… its very different to the book.
Silence of the lambs
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – it was my least favourite of the book series but I thought they adapted it very well to screen
LOTR. Enough said 🙂
Maze Runner
The Wizard of Oz, Smoke Signals
help was as good vas thebook
The life of Pi
Silence of the Lambs
Smilas Sense of Snow, the only film I preferred to the book.
Winter’s Tale
Lion in Winter
The notebook
Gone with the wind
