"The Manchurian Candidate" isn't a great book.
Gotta disagree, the book is extremely entertaining, and has an element of satire that's missing from the movie. I agree that the movie is one of the best ever made tho, and I'm not sure which one I like better, because it's so well done.
Who framed Roger Rabbit and the Shining.
Invincible. The comics are great, but I think the show dramatically improves a couple characters
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.
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.

Manhunter (1986)
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby.
The Bocchi the Rock anime vs the Manga. The Manga is by no menas bad, but it is a 4 panel gag affair which has very little of the dynamism and weird jokes of the anime. I really want them to make more of it.
A Very Brady Sequel.
