Better as a movie than a book



.5 Last of the Mohicans. I haven't read the book, not really, but the snippets from James Fenimore Cooper that I read some twenty years ago caused me shame to be an English language speaker. The movie was just mediocre-plus, but there's no way on god's green earth that that book could be better than that. the horror.

so...help me out here, folks. surely there are some examples.

How 'bout this?



There's just no way the novel was better. No way. Yes, it had more detail. Sure. Big deal. But the Godfather redeems film as a type of art.

So...what else?
