Name shows/movies that are better then the books they came from?

[Max Power]

I've heard "No Country" is better then the book but I haven't read it.

You've heard wrong.

To answer the Thread Kubrick's interpretation of The Shining is superior to the source material which is why Stephen King was so

The ending from "the mist" was not from the book, and steven king said he liked the movie ending better

The Godfather

We didn’t really need graphic descriptions on the size of Sonny’s manhood and how his mistress has an enormous box.

Just the one hint in the movie at the wedding is enough.
