Haven't read the comics, but everyone says that The Boys tv show is way better

Both film versions of Solaris, though for vastly different reasons. Lem's original novel is super dry and hard sci fi, like most of Lem's work, which isn't my favorite kind of sci fi. Both films really delve into the fascinating psychological questions of the situation Kelvin finds himself in. The Tarkovsky version is the best, unsurprisingly, since Tarkovsky is the GOAT, but I also really enjoy the Soderbergh version with George Clooney. The latter is hollywoodized compared to the Soviet version, but still is a really interesting and gorgeous movie
Who framed Roger Rabbit and the Shining.
They Live.
The Thing but not The Thing From Another World.
Most things based on the work of PKD.
A lot of Lovecraft adaptations have to be a bit loose (because his stories tend not to lend themselves to films and he wasn't a good person) and are all the better for it - Re-animator, From Beyond, The Color Out of Space, Dagon, etc. plus quite a few fan films.
Flash Gordon film.
The first two Blade films - they struggle to make great Blade comics.
The Legion TV series.
Manhunter (1986)
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby.
The Ten Commandments
I think the anime adaptation of Frieren: Beyond Journeyβs End was genuinely better than the manga. Which is saying something, because the manga was already pretty damn good.
I think the TV series of Station Eleven is better than the book. Not that the book is bad at all, but the show is something else.

Foundation. The books are okay. But the show has better character, escpecially the empire side. Great visual, and more griping plot
The Empire Story Arc is great, the visual are awesome. Everything else is much worse, and the whole plot with hologram Seldon makes it a clown and loses its mysticism. Let's see if The Mule arc is good enough to compensate now awful the Salvor Hardin is.
Love the series but they are hard to compare with each other because the series have almost nothing to do with the books.
A Very Brady Sequel.
