Movies that were better than their books

[JaeBlessing]

The movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (the one with James Mason) was better than the book. In my estimation anyway...

[Laura Lee]

Anything by Tom Clancy! LOL I find his books made into movies are more enjoyable than the books themselves. Sacrilege, I know! But that's how I feel. I love the movie, "The Hunt for Red October" and all the other Jack Ryan movies.

I would say Ben hur..... Hurd Hatfield and George did great

The book the "fault in our stars " was hands down an amazing book but the movie on the other hand was heartbreaking just seeing the faces of the character's throughout the movie and knowing and almost feeling what their feeling is amazing.

The Thorn Birds. Even though a mini series was so much better than the book.

It's not a film but series: The 100

I enjoyed the 1995 film of Sense and Sensibility more than the book. Great cast, and Emma Thompson did a fantastic job on the screenplay.

I would say that the war horse is much better then the movie.but the most of Charles Dickens books r better then the movies.

I personally prefer the Lord of the Rings movies to the books. The books were too long-winded for me.

Divergent! I was absolutely enamoured by the movie so I decided to read the book. I was left feeling disappointed as the book felt over-simplified and less high-stakes.

[KCWolf]

IMHO, the Jurassic Park movies and the Twilight Saga.

[tsh1001]

None that I have read/watched!! Not at least that I can remember.

I will say, however... the Lord of the Rings comes to mind. The books did not spark my interest, so I suppose you could say I enjoyed those movies better.

[NovaFly]

The book is okay but the How to Train Your Dragon movie is better.

[DetMaraBays]

As a film I think DOLORES CLAIBORNE is vastly superior to the Stephen King novel which inspired it.
Visuals are very important, particularly the region, season and weather as a backdrop to the story. First Class direction and a near perfect cast.

The movie of Great Expectations was better than the book. While reading the story, I drew interest for events the writer wrote about, but I found the movie more thrilling as I was able to see, hear and comprehend what I couldn't comprehend, while reading.
