People usually say that books are always better than the movies made from them. I can think of a few exceptions, whose movies are markedly better than their source material. I don’t intend to provide any justification for my view; it’s just a list:
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, based on Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf
- The Quiet Man, based on the short story The Quiet Man by Maurice Walsh
- Die Hard, based on Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp
- Stardust, based on Stardust by Neil Gaiman
