Here's my attempt to talk about something other than the virus.
Many novel-based movies have failed to properly bring good books to life on the screen; a good example, at least in my opinion, is the latest version of Little Women. There have been many others, but this complaint is too easy because it's hard to take a book and condense it onto film without losing much of what made the book good.
However, there have been times when the movie has been better than the book it is based on, sometimes far better. My example would be The Godfather; an okay book, an instant classic as a movie.
What are your favorite examples of the okay book - great movie?
