Books Into Movies: Which Is Better?

Our maverick English Teacher and movie buff looks at a whole bunch of books AND the movies that were based on them. In some cases the books are famous and the movies are obscure; in others, the reverse is true. In a few cases both are quite well known, and occasionally neither the book nor the movie are remembered. And, most interestingly, it is remarkable how often the book is NOT better than the movie.
