Film better than the book? Only one that comes to mind is The Graduate. I complained how dull it was to a friend [science fiction writer A. Bertram Chandler] and he just puffed on his pipe and said in his experience bad novels often made good movies and vice versa!

On consideration, I do remember that the movie PBS made of Ursula K. LeGuin's The Lathe of Heaven was slightly different to the novel but the differences were improvements for once.
