OT Movie better than the book

Went to see 'Gone Girl' with Mrs JJ the other night. Great film but nowhere near as good as the book.

Got me thinking. I can't think of many movies where they was better than the book. Even outstanding and classic films like The Shining, Midnight Express, The Exorcist, Silence of The Lambs, etc

Only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Kes and The Godfather

Where eagles dare and Dial M for murder.

But books written by Colin Dexter (Inspector Morse) are far better that the televised versions.

Dog Day Afternoon.

Shawshank Redemption and Don't Look Now
