I feel like most opinions center around books always being better than any adaptation whether it be TV or film. Are there any adaptations out there that you guys actually prefer over the original novel?

Shadow and bone (but not the crows part)

Well I would say that Six of Crows is 100% worth the read but it would make more sense if you read Shadow and Bone first (Six of Crows is a continue on series from Shadow and Bone) So yeah I would say that you should read SAB if you want to read SOC
Murder on the Orient Express - Agatha Christie

little women, call me by your name, howls moving castle, also the shadow and bone show was better than the shadow and bone book (but not six of crows!!), and perks of being a wallflower
Normal people. I couldn’t get through the book I DNFed it but I loved the series. Also the perks of being a wallflower. Fenomenal.
Everything Everything. As much as I loved the book I liked the movie more
The maze runner movies -……
To All the Boys I've Loved BeforeIt's my favorite Netflix movie, but I wasn't overly thrilled by the book.
In my opinion tsip show is better than the book
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
the dead poets society and howls moving castle :) both quite different but amazing in cinematic form, that being said i love the books too !
daisy jones and the six! the book was okay but the show made me really invested, although there were some differences where i thought the original source was better

Love Rosie, it was remake of where the rainbows end. But tbh the book was really good!!!
Heart of darkness to Apocalypse NowThe heart is a lonely hunter and the movie
Little Women (2019) I feel like it did for Jo what Alcott would have loved to do but couldn’t.
Moby Dick (1956) captures the adventure of the novel - young guy goes on a whaling ship without first seeing its captain - and its ultimate doom. Gregory Peck makes a handsome and frightening captain. Worth a look.
Howls moving castle, the princess bride
I would have to agree with the people who have said Shadow&Bone. For me, the first book was very good. The next two, however, were too repetitive and boring, the show was much better. As far as the Crows' story goes, they say it's very good but I haven't read the books yet.P.S. Little Women (2019) is an amazing movie but there's no way it's better than the book!! They are both great and just complement each other.

Not a movie, but the Jane Eyre (2006 TV series) > Book
five feet apart fs!
dead poets society (but it was originally a movie and then a book)
life of pi! i read it ages ago but the movie was just amazing
Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, the book was far too long and plodding for me, I thought the movie added a sense of urgency and summed up the book beautifully.
