The movie Jaws is better than the book.

The book is awful.

I present American Psycho as my submission. I thought No Country for Old Men did a fantastic job transitioning to the big screen.

There are quite a few examples, The Godfather being probably the most famous. No one needs to know about some vagina tightening surgery, Mr. Puzo.

Jaws, Forest Gump, Princess Bride… arguably Blade Runner, but that gets complicated.
