[Closed] Films as good as the book if not better

Forest Gump!

Any of the Jane Austen adaptations, film or TV.

I bought "Emma" on the back of the TV version and it became not so much a read as a challenge just to get through.

Arguably the most boring book ever written. Even more than the bible. Or the koran, probably...

[whisper]That's cos it's a [i]lady's[/i] book[/whisper]

The koran? I doubt it...

I don't think you can compare Blade Runner to 'Do Androids Dream...' as they are vastly different in terms of theme, characters (same names but Deckard is completely different, for example), but overall I prefer the book to the film.

All of the Bourne films. The book is so heavy going, Ive started it three times and barely made a dent.

Those who've said a film is better than the book (and specifically the LOTR coz I thought the films were merely ok) did you read the book first?

I have found it harder to appreciate a book after already seeing the film, but the other way round the book is almost always better.
