Jeffrey, I was going to suggest a Top 10 list for "movies that are as good or better than the books" but realized that I could not come up with ten. Like you, I usually find the book better.
(books in parenthesis, movies italicized)
1. "Fahrenheit 451" into Fahrenheit 451
2. "The Widow for One Year" into The Door in the Floor
3. "Lolita" into Lolita (1997 dir. Lyne)
4. "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland" into Alice in Wonderland (the trippy 1951 Disney version)
5. "Interview with the Vampire" into Interview with the Vampire
6. "The Rules of Attraction" into The Rules of Attraction
Can't decide if Bladerunner makes the list or not. It probably does. I know I'm missing a whole bunch but I'm not adding them if I haven't read the book too. There are some great movies (like True Grit, The Thin Red Line, etc, etc.) whose books I have not read. Help me out.
