Re: Movies Based on Books...

Besides your utter lack or knowledge concerning literature, this is a silly comparison.

My utter lack of knowledge? A Space Odyssey was written concurrently with the screenplay by Arthur C. Clarke. Which came first I don't know. But it was a book and a movie.
Apocalypse Now was based on a book titled "Heart of Darkness" was it not? And yes I know Heart of Darkness is a completely different time period and different plot, but the movie was based on it all the same.
And FWIW, I'm not trying to compare books and movies (they are apples and oranges) I'm mearly asking if anyone actually liked a movie better than the book it was based upon. It can happen.
