It's strange, but my two picks thus far in this draft (
Catch 22 &
The Tin Drum) were both made into feature films, and I have seen neither. I have no aversion to seeing them, it's not as if they would tarnish the books or whatever, I just haven't felt the need to see them. I'm not a "the book is always better" guy either- each are different in their own way and I think it's a waste of time to over analyze the comparisons most of the time.
I've heard
The Tin Drum is a much better
movie than
Catch 22 is, and I would like to see it sometime- your recommendation might've just spurred me on there.
And maybe your post will spur others on to reading
The Tin Drum. Like you suggest, it's fantastically good, and unlike anything I've ever read. Thanks for the kudos!
