I loooved the movie The Hours, and I thought it was better than the book. The book was boring, and most people would argue that the movie was boring. But the movie had some of the most riveting scenes - acting wise - that I've ever seen on film. Nicole Kidman in this scene was astounding.

The movie feels very much like a book come to life, and the brilliant performances in the movie elevate it to a level that's greater than the book itself in my opinion.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of those books that benefits from seeing it all come alive. The book was fantastic, but the movie was just so incredibly vibrant and amazing. It was one of my favorite films as a kid.

I've never read the book version of Jurassic Park, but the film version is damn good. I can't imagine the book being better than what Spielberg managed to capture on screen.
