If you haven't read the book you can't possibly have a clue what is going on but that is a good shout. Awesome film in it's time. Have to laugh everytime I see Reggie Perrin in it though.

Sorry but I can't agree about One Flew - the book is far better than the film.

Other half claims 'The Notebook' is a lot better than the book. I can't think of one.

None. The film is ALWAYS a watered-down version of the book.

Blade Runner was certainly improved by Ridley Scott's 'Just like tears in the rain' sequence which is not in the original short story 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' by Phillip K Dick, although his stories have been used for several films.
