When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later.
So what are some great films not adapted from books? Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted from?
Any film made by Christopher Guest and Wes Anderson. Every one of them are gems.
Maybe this is controversial - I really like Wes Anderson’s films but they’re more of a visual treat than anything else.
The visuals are a major reason to watch them. There is more, but the visuals are big.
