Oh, I'm glad this was bumped. I've been giving this some thought and it seems to me that some of the most successful translations to film, where I'd be willing to argue the film is better than the book, are in the category of Noir. Noir moviesThe visuals in noir films can be so atmospheric and they're often made by the cream of the industry, even though frequently they're based on the work of a more-or-less hack writer, even if a very good hack writer. Just as one example: Which is better the film or the novel of Double Indemnity?
