Trying to think of a movie that’s better than the book is close to impossible. Can you think of any? I just keep thinking of movies based on books that were terrible (The Giver). I guess the Hunger Games 🎬 trilogy was great, but not better than the books!! Maybe some Disney movies??? Or Silence of the Lambs??? Let me know if you can think of any!! ⠀⁣
