If it's a decent movie, I like to see the movie first. Of course, not many books are made into movies. I actually saw the Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mocking Bird, and War and Peace before reading the books.Liked the book better than the movieI saw Oliver Twist before too! That is a REALLY old one I think.
The Great Gatsby, saw the movie/read the book.
Me too. The book was way better, but that's usually how it goes for me. If I've read the book, I'm usually disappointed in the movie with very few exceptions.
It's usually the other way around for me. I read the original Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula, which was an excellent book, and then I saw the movie . . . meh. I guess it's kind of hard to capture that atmosphere and essence though. It was a hell of a creepy book.
