2001: A Space Odyssey was a good book, but the movie was boring beyond words and didn’t make any sense unless you had read the book.

If I remember correctly, the book was actually written after the movie was shot.

I always thought the book came first, but it didn’t.

Interesting article about it here at wikipedia.

The book and movie were actually done concurrently, with some script changes, but not all, included in the book.
