Sometimes I've read the book first, other times the movie was first. I like the 1960 adaptation of The Time Machine, then I figured I'd read the book. I liked the movie better. 2001, I watched the movie first, but then really enjoyed the book. LOTRs, I enjoyed both books and movies. I'm enjoying Silo series on apple TV+ and also enjoyed the books. If it's a good story although maybe edited from the book, both can be good. Although it could never capture the breadth of the book one adaptation of Les Miserable that I liked a lot was one done with Anthony Perkins playing Javert. What a great job he did in that. I saw that one night on a hallmark hall of fame presentation many years ago. I had to have a copy of the movie and finally found one unedited from the UK. It was a bit grainy and maybe a tape transfer to DVD, but I bought it.

Some things on my TBR list are The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, a wonderful film with Alan Arkin, The Day of the Jackal (a few adaptations of that are available and I'm currently enjoying the modern rendition on Peacock) and Breakfast at Tiffanys come to mind.
