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?

    Anything by Martin McDonagh, especially

    • In Bruges
    • Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
    • The Banshees of Inisherin

      Also, just thought of some others that aren’t based on books but have quite a literary feel:

      • Tár
      • The VVitch
      • There Will Be Blood

          Thanks for the heads-up, I wasn’t aware of that.

          I’ll still keep it on the list as it’s an amazing movie anyway 😄
