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.

    Have you rewatched it recently? I ask because I rewatched it a few years ago and (while I still love it) I thought that modern audiences would complain about the pacing and such.

      No, I watched it only once and it was years ago 😅. I remember that I loved it, but it may have aged badly.

        It did age poorly, the movie is too slow…

        I showed it to my wife recently and I was cringing, even though I love the movie
