I consider the movie the "good parts version" of the book much as the book itself claimed to be the "good parts version" of the Morgenstern tale.

I thought they were both great.

And I thought the movie had a pretty sarcastic tone, too. I've also loved other movies with William Goldman as the screenwriter - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men, Year of the Comet (silly, but fun to watch). However, even though I think of him as really good writer, I didn't really care for Maverick or Dreamcatcher and thought the Chamber, Absolute Power, and The General's Daughter were just alright. So, I think it's fine if that particular screenplay just didn't work for you, even though you liked the book.

Also, Marathon Man and Misery were both phenomenal!

I forgot Year of the Comet ever existed. Teen me watched it because I had the biggest crush on Tim Daly from watching Wings on USA Network lol

I’m the exact opposite; I didn’t like the book but loved the movie. But the mass nostalgia for it the last 10-15 years has really put a damper on it for me.

I enjoyed both versions a lot though I do enjoy the film more. I grew up with the film, grew tired of it because when my sister was around 3 we watched it endlessly (to the point that we hid the DVD from her and she began watching other films, finally).

Though I don't ever choose to watch the film anymore, I recall still loving it just the same whenever I'd catch it airing on TV (back when I still watched cable tv).

I completely agree with this; maybe it's because I only saw the movie when I was already an adult but I enjoyed the book a lot more.
