[quote=Anonymous]Inspired by the "covers that improved on the original" thread ... I normally hate watching a movie for which I had already read (and enjoyed) the book. They have to cut so much content out in order to fit into a 2-hour format, and the plot and character development always suffer as a result. But, I'm sure there are some made-from-books movies that are actually good movies. The best example I can think of is Shawshank Redemption - I had read the book and loved it, but was still thrilled with the movie. They did make some changes, but I thought the changes actually enhanced the story instead of detracting from it. Oddly, the only other one I can think of is Stand By Me (yes I'm dating myself here). I guess that novella format lends itself well to translation into a movie, or maybe there was something about that particular collection. What others have you enjoyed?[/quote]
