We have got used than as a rule a book is much better than a film made on its base. The reason for it is that our imagination is free to invent what we want and develop the idea of an author. But as we know rules cannot exist without exceptions. So, that is what I would like to discuss today. Here I have Top 5 movies that are better than books, at least according my opinion and preferences.
1. Jaws. The original story was invented and written by Peter Benchley. Later on the film of the same name was shot by one of the most famous directors Steven Spielberg. The story goes about a white shark that turned a small beach resort town in a hell. The film keeps viewers in suspense for several generations yet.
2. Silence of the Lambs. The story was created by Thomas Harris and shot by Jonathan Demme. I bet that everybody knows an unusual story of Clarice Starling and Dr. Hannibal Lector. Silence of the Lambs became one of the best thrillers ever. By the way, to get the feel of the role Anthony Hopkins studies serial killers’ behavior.
3. Gone with the Wind. The most beloved story for every romantic person. The film dates back to 1939, but it is still very popular. The famous quote from the film “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” was recognized number one by the American Film Institute.
4. The Shawshank Redemption. The story was written by Stephen King and shot by Frank Darabont in 1994. The film as well as a book goes about Andrew Dufresne, his life and relations in prison. No, doubt, excellent and captivating movie.
5. The Godfather. I couldn’t but mentioning the story about the godfather written by Mario Puzo and shot by Francis Ford Coppola. I see this film as classics that can perfectly drive attention.
