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.
Broadly correct but I like the ending in the novel better.
Always thought Survivor would make a great film too but the whole flying a plane into a skyscraper part kinda put the studios off.
