15 Movies That Are Better Than the Books They Are Based on (The Cinemaholic)

"Hollywood has always had the habit of making movies inspired by critically acclaimed books. It has, at most of the times been the case that the tiny details that the book so generously holds are left on the big screen. But it can be equally argued that when a movie is made, it adds a whole new element to the story. The point of view and essential visual story-telling that deals with the viewers' subconscious makes the movie seem better than reading the good old paperback. It is not too common when a movie beats the original text, but when that happens, it's a movie even the book-lovers would love. Don't believe us? Here is the list of movies that are way better than the books they are based on." - thecinemaholic.com
