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?

Someone should really film the entire Border trilogy smile.gif .

I prefer books but some film adaptations can work.

Very often, for me, short stories and novellas translate to film much better than a full novel, perhaps because the narrative is brief enough for a film to do it justice. Joyce´s The Dead is a good example - wonderful short story and film adaptation. Another more recent example is The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas. Also maybe PK Dick´s Do Androids Dream..., which was filmed as Bladerunner. Here the film compliments rather than just offers a straight adaptation

One exception for a full length book is Ishiguru´s The Remains of the Day - personally I found the book torturous but enjoyed and far prefer the film. (I like Ishiguru normally but not The Remains...)
