Yeah.

“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “The Shining” are the two times that an excellent book has been turned into an excellent movie by deviating from the book to create something that’s well suited to be on the screen and they both are good.

“The Shawshank Redemption” is the one time that an excellent book* has been turned into an excellent movie by sticking to the source material and just doing a good job bringing it to life.

In all other cases the movie is a pale imitation, if the book was any good. Just put the book out of your mind and watch the movie, it’s a movie.
