I know two movies where the book is way better, Jurassic Park and Fight Club. I thought about putting spoilers in a comment to this one but i won't.

The lost world is also a great book. It explores a lot of interesting stuff the film completely ignores. Like that the raptors are only rampaging monsters because they had no proper upbringing having been been born in the lab with no mama or papa raptor to teach them social skills
But hey, at least we finally got the motorcycle chase (kind of) in "Jurassic World"! (It's my favourite entry in the series, BTW.)
Disagree, Jurassic Park was an amazing movie on multiple levels, the book was just differently good, and adapting it to film in the exact format would have been less interesting (though the ending was better in the book.)
I totally forgot the book ending! So much better.

I think like the motorcycle chase that they borrowed from the lost world in Jurassic world, they also have a scene with those tiny dinosaurs pecking someone to death.

Also The Godfather. No Country for old Men I wouldn’t say is better but is fantastic.
