In watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets recently, I noticed just how much they left out of the movie from the book, such as the de-gnoming scene. Yes, this always happens, and the trope is that the books are usually better than the movies, but it got me thinking - has any movie ever been better than the book? I'm sure they're out there, but what are they?
I've heard about a few, but it's hard for me to comment because either I haven't read the book, or I haven't watched the movie, or both. Claims about Blade Runner have been made, but I didn't see it(I know, I know...penance later). Some have said Fight Club, but I didn't know it was a book(although I've seen the movie). The Devil Wears Prada comes up on a few lists, but as I'm not a woman, I haven't seen it, and I didn't know it was a book either.
What do you think? There have been lots of movies I've loved based on books, but I'm struggling to think of one better than the novel.
