Have you ever seen a movie that you thought was better than the book?

Forest Gump. The sense I always got is that in the film, Forrest Gump seems slow and awkward because he’s on the autism spectrum. In the book, he seems slow and awkward because he’s an undereducated and ignorant hick, not because of any condition. I like the movie a lot. It is on the list of my favorite ones. I've recently installed a good player on my firestick https://www.firesticktricks.com/... and I'm going to rewatch the movie again.

I have to admit, I'm a big fan of reading books, but there have been a few times where I've enjoyed the movie adaptation more than the book itself. One example that comes to mind is The Godfather. While the book is great, I think the movie does an excellent job of bringing the characters and story to life in a way that really captures the essence of the novel.
