The Godfather

>>79969342
Holes.
Starship Troopers.

>>79969380
Agree with fight club.

>>79969353
This.

Jurassic Park and The Lost World.

Easiest, OP:

The Shining.

Book: meh, alcohol is bad mkay?
Film: masterpiece of many layers

>>79969383
>Solaris
its so strange that you put this up there with those other films. is this a meme?

>>79969613
Why?

There never has been and never will be a movie that is better than the book it was adapted from.

Indisputable fact.

>>79969353

>Confirmed for not ever reading Heinlein's book
Good job, shitheads.

>>79969701
He's right, but only because they are two different mediums and must be judged completely independent of each other.

>>79969540
True, but the book isn't very hard to beat.

Also:
Babette's Feast

>>79969657
well it is kinda strange

Naked Lunch
The Shining
Jurassic Park
Hugo

etc.
etc.

>>79969810
What? The movie's strange? What are you saying?

forrest gump

in the book he
>goes into space with a genius chimp
>crash lands in papau new guinea
>captured by cannibals
>only reason the cannibals don't eat them is because the chimp can beat the chief at chess
>mfw
the whole book was like that so i've erased the rest of its details from my brain

>>79969762
I've read a few of his books. Starship Troopers is legitimately mediocre compared to most of the other stuff.

>>79969831
solaris isn't that good or really memorable of a film and you listed it up there with classics

>>79969890
>solaris isn't that good or really memorable of a film
Oh boy

>>79969762
Heinlein sucks. It's just
>muh free love
>muh nudism
>muh money is bad, m'kay
At least in the later books

>>79969890
I hope you're not thinking of the 2005 George Clooney adaptation, that would be embarrassing

The Road, Viggo really sold the father

>>79969844
Are you kidding? The book was infinitely more entertaining than the film
>lesbian astronaut falls in love with an orangutan

>>79970060
well then it is even weirder

>>79970003
Number of the Beast is maybe the worst sci fi book I've ever read

>>79969844
Pretty weird turn. Would've never expected that from just watching Philadelphia

this

>>79970297
>is it worth watching?
Yeah the Tarkovsky one is great

>>79970297
Yes.

The Clooney one is okay, the book and the Tarkovsky one are both superior though

Nice

>>79969342
Body of Lies. Movie wasn't great, but the novel was atrocious. No idea how it even got optioned.

The Town also was better than the source material, but Affleck butchered Live by Night.

>>79971113
>Book : The hotel just blows up

Because of a BOILER.

>>79969342
Apocalypse Now
>>79969383
All of these except Solaris

>>79970123
This is either bait or (more likely) you never read the book.

Come to think of it, I'd be surprised if more than a third of the people ITT have read the books that correspond with their choices.

No Country for Old Men

As a non-meme answer, Shrek.

But also as a meme answer.

Million Dollar Baby

>>79969342
The Lawnmower Man

Although, it was so different that they dropped the "Stephen King's" from the title. The original was a short story about a goat devil man mowing the lawn butt naked using only his teeth.

There Will Be Blood

Oil! is an unreadable diatribe about capitalism
