RE: Words Make a Difference: Movie vs Book, part II

I have never read the Lord of the Rings books, but did read the Hobbit when I was in middle school. Watching a movie based on a book you have read is almost always disappointing to me. There is only a couple of movies I have watched that did the book justice and one of them was actually a mini-series and not a movie.

Yeah I agree with you. It's pretty hard to translate a book faithfully, making it usually a bad experience for book fans.
Godfather, Goodfellas, and Casino would be three of my picks for movies that improved on the books. Jaws too. Hmm.. but not many more come to mind.
Never read the books for those, but the movies were good.
