re: Do you think it's possible to make a movie better than the book?

The book isn't all that long. It was written as a screen play by Cormack McCarthy, and took a while for the Coen's to get to it. Almost every word in the movie is from the book.

This is they way I feel about the book Wiseguy and the movie Goodfellas. I initially thought Goodfellas was one of the best movies ever made but its best lines are drawn verbatim from the book. They are too different to compare though.
