We asked The Atlantic’s writers and editors: What’s a film adaptation that’s better than the book?
The article explains why they consider the movies Jurassic Park, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Devil Wears Prada, The Social Network, and Clear and Present Danger each to be better than their source material.
The Shawshank Redemption - a good book (Stephen King) made into a richer and more complete movie. In my opinion, so few of King’s stories were better on the screen than the original writing.
