Hitchcock and Vertigo laugh in your face.

Field of Dreams is a way better movie than the book it’s based off of. The book honestly sounds dumb, but the movie brought it to life in a charming way

Godfather 1 and 2 better than the books.

Game of thrones seasons 1-4 just as good as the books but probably not better

I’m not going to say Ready Player One was better than the book but what they did with it was more enjoyable than a completely faithful adaptation would have been.

Jaws and Fight Club, and in my opinion, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.

Cape Fear (original version!) is much, much better than its source novel
