The book. Another that is only good in book form is A Connetticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The movie sucked.

You have to remember, when I was young, television was crappy and all we had was movies, radio, and books. I think we were using our imaginations more than youngsters are today. When I read, I put myself into the place and situations. It will surprise you how realistic the written word could become.

My dad read it for me while being a kid and I agree with what Missileer said. Imagination plays a vital role while reading books.
