I'll go to bat here for Kubrick and say his 2001 is a LOT better than Clarke's 2001 and his The Shining is better than Stephen King's (Douglas Adams said listening to Clarke rant about how much Kubrick cut out and ignored "leaves one with a tremendous respect for Kubrick")

What else, off the top of my head The Prestige is my favorite Nolan movie and one of my favorite movies period I checked out the novel because of it and I have to say while it wasn't bad I remember a lot less of it

That's just it, right, if I didn't just tell you it was based on a novel how many of you would know How many people thought of Jojo Rabbit as a novel adaptation before people started talking about it for Best Adapted Screenplay (I'm told the book is fine but not nearly as good)

The Princess Bride is one my friends tell me the movie did better. I don’t wanna read it and risk tarnishing one of my favorite movies from childhood.
