Also Mario Puzo's "The Godfather." The movie was far superior to the novel.

Going beyond the original, a movie can really complement the book when they are sufficiently different.

I also bet the movies that are far better than the book are so good we don't know the book.

I would make an argument also for Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove. Kubrick was a genius when it came to how to translate written word into film. In King’s case, it goes to show that the author doesn’t always know best.

Shawshawk for sure (though I haven't read the novella) and Green Mile is arguable. Sorry(?) Stephen.

Atlas shrugged, only bc it was shorter and bc of physics and math, it had to suck less than the book bc it was shorter.

Hitchcock's Sabotage. The original rather peters out towards the end. Double Indemnity because the film ends rounded off rather than the lame suicide pact at the end of the original. The 39 Steps (Hitchcock version) because the original is full if jingoistic hooey
