Re: What movie has improved on the *book* from which it was drawn?

Schindler's List

Firestarter (such that it is), You could make the case for the Shining...some people don't like King's long windedness vs the tight fast paced Underrated Cut-throat Kubrick film. I hated the Kubrick movie but i've seen it several times on TV and I can't help watching - so I bought the DVD - damn good fun despite the flaws...the King made for tv version was atrocious...some themes don't work on screen.

The English Patient(Though together they work better than stand alone pieces).

Amadeus - though technically a play - so depending on the modifications??? - Since Shaffer wrote both the play and screenplay??

You could make a case for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, A Clockwork Orange(though I'm still reading the book).
