10+ Movies That Are Better If You Read the Book First According to MovieWeb

"Cinema is an integral part of storytelling, simultaneously allowing experimentation with narratives and visuals. Although it stands at a significant position on its own, film as a medium evolves in great proximity to film as a medium evolves in great proximity to literature. The stories expressed through prose eventually find a way to make it on the big screen, whether they be direct adaptations or sources of sole inspiration. Consuming films may be a relatively more straightforward activity than reading a book. Due to a lack of time or attention span, it does not matter—it is a commonly known fact that books require more effort and time to be both acknowledged and appreciated. This is why film adaptations often capture the audience's intrigue and steal the spotlight, but some stories still require their original prose to be subjected to genuine recognition. Here are 10 films that insistently want you to read the book first—if you want the authentic experience." - movieweb.com
