We asked The Atlantic’s writers and editors: What’s a film adaptation that’s better than the book?

The article explains why they consider the movies Jurassic Park, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Devil Wears Prada, The Social Network, and Clear and Present Danger each to be better than their source material.

Agree with you. The book was much better--and the movie is one of the top 5 action movies of all time for me. Maybe it helps I read the book before I saw the movie, which not many had the chance to since the movie was and always has been an insta-classic.
