Somehow, I've always discovered that books are always better than the movies made after them, just because of the simple fact that a book STIMULATES your imagination - you design the look, smell, feel and sound of EVERYTHING inside there smile.gif so actually you can be a little movie maker inside your own mind smile.gif

How does it work for you guys?

I definitely agree Cosmin.. although it sometimes depends whether you experience the movie or the book first, do you think ?

I remember reading Where Eagles Dare and picturing everything in my head.. but the movie was noway near as good. When it comes to old wartime books by Alistair McLean or Jack Higgins, the films will never do them justice.

These days movies are a lot more impressive with effects and realism etc.. but in the 70's, 80's & 90's no way..

I'd have to say book as well but Ben I think you have a point when you say it depends which one you experience first. Ultimately I think the book is going to give you more insight but if you saw the movie first you'll already have a picture in your head as to what is going on, so you might not find the book as enjoyable if it varies a little from the movie.
