Movies That Are Better Than the Books They Are Based On - Page 2

This is a controversial and subjective topic. You really can only form an opinion if you've both read the book and watched the movie. The hard ones are obviously where the novels are excellent, such as 'To Kill a Mockingbird', 'The Godfather', 'Fight Club', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and so many more on this list. It just shows how excellent the movies are. I wonder how much we'll agree on?
