    Pretty much everyone who’s discussed it agrees The Godfather (film) blows the Puzo novel it adapted away.

    Runner up is Adaptation, an adaptation of the novel The Orchid Thief that expands its scope significantly.

      Adaptation was one of those movies I watched and then caught myself thinking about it through the year…a very well done movie.

      The movies made me want to read the book. I still haven’t yet though.

      I still get chills when I hear “you’re nothing to me now, Fredo.”

      The Godfather book has a lot of great character nuances but it also has a subplot of Sonny’s enormous dong being the only thing that could satisfy his wife’s bridesmaid’s enormous vagina.
