Ever Like the Movie Better Than the Book?



all..

at least in my mind.. you know there is some of us who dont have time to read.. (in English or other)..
I remeber buying some arabic books last year which I still did not read the first ... page.
Movie is a lot better. its got the whole book in 2-3 hours.. & you can see your superstars doing it like morgan freeman or even angelina jolie

The Name of the Rose. (Umberto Ecco)

"Foucault's Pendulum" was a much better book, however.

"The Island of the Day Before" -- I read half, never to come back. Zzzzzz.

I will agree with The Princess Bride and Blade Runner, and add American Psycho. I love the book, but the film has Christian Bale with no shirt on, which is pretty much all I'm hoping for in a Christian Bale Movie.


I love the film of Blade Runner. So yeah, that one, but really, I consider Phil Dick to be unfilmable, so...

Trainspotting...sad. not watching it again unless I have to.

Stephen King tends to write FOR his future directors...and he has editors that let him natter on forever, so many of his books translate okay. IT, and some of the short stories.

This, too, was a novella from Stephen King titled "The Body." I enjoy the film much more.

Most of the time I like the book better than the movies but there are some exceptions.

Practical Magic is one of my favorite movies, I have read the book and I like it but I think the movie tell the story better and that the changes it put into it makes the story better.

Lord of the Ring, yes it is horrible for a fantasy fan to admit but I have never finished reading the Lord of the Ring, I have tried several times but I have never managed to get though the books, I find the way they are written boring, even if saying that is like swearing in Church. I however love the movies and I have watched them so many times.

My second favorite movie of all times is the 1992 Coppola version of Dracula, now Dracula is also one of my favorite books but I do think I like this movie version just a little bit better because Dracula and Mina actually have a relationship in this one and who can resist Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing.

I wish you all well

I have to disagree with this. Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite Harry Potter book, I really found it exiting and I think here is where the story is really getting good, yes it is talky but that is what I like about it, when that is said I do like the movie as well, but not as much as I like the book.

I wish you well
