As for other films that are better than the books, I'd say:
1) "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick with Jack Nicholson was much better than Stephen King's original book. I'm comparing them as horrors
perhaps if I was concentrating on the whinings of an alcoholic writer, I'd prefer the book.
2) "Blade Runner" by Ridley Scott with Harrison Ford was much better film than Philip K Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" a book. If Dick had some profound idea at the roots of his book, he missed me completely when explaining it.
