I almost always like the books better than the movies. 
Neverending Story is no exception.

Just about the only film I like just as much as the book is Gone With the Wind. The film had so much surrounding its making, and the history of Hollywood that it embodies makes it stand alone in my mind.
Also, that's the reason I haven't been rushing out to see the Harry Potter films. My mind makes better pictures.
Goodness, don't we all sound like an after-school special. Reading is Fun!

I agree. Especially in the case of Harry Potter. The book was WAY better. The movie was okay... but didn't really compare.
The only case I've come across where the opposite was true is Jurassic Park. I HATED that book. From beginning to end. I guess I'm not a real big fan of Michael Crichton.
Anyway. Bye for real.

Oh, and I remembered one film I prefer hands down over the book. Logan's Run. If you want to see a campy 70's sci-fi flick about the anxiety of Baby-boomers and their distrust about anyone over 30, it's a great film. The book, OTOH, is almost unreadable and follows no real discernable plot.
I agree! Let's rev up the book thread! Or start a reading circle.

I had to think of HP and LOTR books and movies as seperate entities. I love both the books and the movies, but can't do a comparison or I will go nutty!

Agreed! It bugs though, to have loved the books long prior to the films, and to have people accuse you of liking it just because of Orlando Bloom. Oh well, I love me some sci-fi/fantasy.
I'm thinking about wrapping my head around the Silmarillian when I have time, ever read it?MommytoMJM said:
