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.

      At 13 years old, I finished the book on the way to watch the movie. I had been reading it for a few weeks. Great book. Imo, they’re too close for me to judge which is better.

      Yeah, I was surprised by this one, the book is great! The movie is great. They’re both great for what they are. The movie isn’t better.
