We asked The Atlantic’s writers and editors: What’s a film adaptation that’s better than the book?

The article explains why they consider the movies Jurassic Park, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Devil Wears Prada, The Social Network, and Clear and Present Danger each to be better than their source material.

Oldboy. The ending of the manga is just so unbelievably stupid.

The original Korean Oldboy is in my top movie recommendations to anyone.

Had no idea it was based on a Manga. Thank you for learning me something good today.
