Offhand I can only think of one movie (and sequels) where “didn’t read the book” made the movie significantly better: The Bourne Identity. Those books really were awful!

I thought the 1993 Mario movie was pretty fun

The Witcher video games are better than the source and the original author is seething from its success

The games are great because CD Project are massive fans who read the books many times, so that hardly fits.

I mean the books are great too, apparently they're even better in it's native language.

I think there's a difference when the source material isn't great. IIRC Forest Gump is another example.

I'm not sure how you think this video is related to the comment I replied to ?

There's also Adaptation, technically.
