1984 is objectively better than 1984 though. 1984 misses a lot of things that were originally in 1984.

Most shitty books make good movies but most good books make shitty movies

These are all pretty good examples, especially Jaws. I'd say The Exorcist too but the movie is a pretty direct adaptation.

>>81281291
Clockwork Orange

Even Tarkovsky said this.

Quite an extensive list you've got there, my man.

>>81281843
I think so. There's nothing in it that's particularly dated aside from a couple special effects. I personally think it's still creepy.

>>81281291
Narnia

>>81281880
great. I'll give it a try

>>81282024
After you watch it check out some of the behind the scenes stories about William Friedkin on set. I love old school directors that don't coddle the actors.

>>81282013
Are you joking?

>old school directors that don't coddle the actors.
you mean like Hitchcock that threw actually crows at the actress while filming Birds?

>>81282189
Exactly. Friedkin definitely took inspiration from Hitchcock's style.
