I think it is almost impossible to make a movie better than the book that it is based on. The book is able to put in more details and character development than the movie ever will. Movies are good for providing great imagery, but then again, I've always been able to come up with images in my head to go along with what I'm reading.
That said, there are still some great movies. Take the battle scenes from the Matrix or Saving Private Ryan, or the great cinematography in Fight Club. The movies are definitely good, and are able to portray things that the books might not be able to. However, the books are generally still better, because they have more to them.
