Jurassic Park is better than the book. Also, and I know this may sound weird given how much the movie is panned, the Lost World movie is also better than the book it's based on.
Terrible Plot lines adaptions did better

Not sure if this counts, but since a new movie by the same name is coming out, The Haunted Mansion video-game is actually really good! It dispenses with whatever the plot of the movie is and has you playing as a sort of "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" character that's becomes the new groundskeeper for the mansion. Almost every single room in the mansion is unique, with its own puzzle and the gameplay, though simple, is pretty fun!
The Ghostbusters Video Game (2009. HD & Wii) is consider the real GB3, and better than GB (2016) and the most recent one that released last year.
Die Hard is slightly superior to Nothing Last Forever. Keep in mind, the latter is a sequel to another novel called The Detective. So NLF has a much older protagonist that is in his early 60s. The novel does have an advantage of having a more detailed plot, and the terrorist are motivated by more than just money. They are terrorists with a cause. I won't spoil anything, but there is a lot of grey, the further you get into the novel.
Alien vs. Predator (Capcom) is far surperior to both AVP films from the 2000s.

As they made an adaptation of the first book already, they were considering using the same lead in Die Hard. That would have been Frank Sinatra, who would have been about 5 years older than Bruce Willis is now.
Pretty much all AvP games are better than the movies, simply because they deliver way more of what their title promises: aliens fighting predators, or vice versa. Tho imo, if a AvP games has a colonial marine campaign, that's usually the best one.
As in added bonus in AVP Capcom's favor, the arcade game was based off the original script. Which was going to have Arnie in it. I think the only thing not in the original script was Linn Kurasawa herself. You are correct though.
