38. The only example I can think of where the movie is better is Jaws.

The movie is fantastic, one of the best ever. The book was average at best, and thankfully the movie dropped the pointless subplot involving an affair between Hooper and Brody's wife. Also, at the end of the book the shark doesn't get blown up. It's swimming right at Brody, who is all that's left, then the shark just dies from wounds and sinks under him. Just a tad anti-climatic. :)

I haven't read the book NCFOM is based on, so I can't say if that's better than the movie or not.
