Book adaptations that are better than the movie.

Or, movie adaptations that are better than the book - and tell us why you think so.

Double Indemnity is a good book, but I really enjoy the expanded role of Barton Keyes in the movie (and Edward G Robinson's performance).

I loved Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep but Blade Runner (especially the Director’s cut) does just add something quite special for me. I think it’s mainly Roy seems extra intriguing in the film. However, I do think the animals/their value are explained better in the book and I’d be kinda interested in how a film would do the collective vision everyone experiences.

(Side note: The book isn’t great for it either, but Rachel’s story doesn’t seem quite so yikes.)

Jaws. I tried reading the book once. Just terrible.

How to train Your Dragon.

Did you know Die Hard is an adaption? And yes, much better than the original in all possible ways.

Stardust the movie worked much better for me than the book. I honestly found most of the characters kind of unlikable in the book.

Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon just work better than the books. I read both, but honestly I find the author's style rather off-putting.

Interesting given the book Jaws was a best seller before they made the movie, then again Twilight was a best seller and that was a piece of shit.

It just didn't work for me personally.

I like the book version of Stardust well enough, but the adaption was just SO good and added a lot of personality to the story.

The movie Interview With The Vampire is better than the book. The book The Vampire Lestat is better than the movie.

I still think Tom Cruise was totally miscast.

To date it is the only role I can stand him in.

The movie Sahara is infinitely better than the book.
