Mostly, I prefer the books over the movies.

Sometimes the movies are nice adaptions of the books, often they are disapointments. Very rarely the movies are as amazing as their books and even more rarely are movies better than their books.

'Sense and Sensibility' is one rare example of a movie which I like slightly more than the book.

'Forrest Gump' is very different from the book. I've read them both and enjoyed them as much as the movie. There is more humour in the book than in the movie I think, but they were equally wonderful.

I read the entire Harry Potter series to my daughter and I've seen the films too with both my children. Personally, I think the books were much better than the movies, my daughter agrees, but my son likes the movies better, he's only heard parts of the books.

Same goes for LOTR movies, the books were much much better.
