The only movie I can think of that is as good as the book because it is, like, 99% identical to the book is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I was shocked when I found and read the book and felt like I already knew every line because the dialogue is word for word exactly the same, and the movie even includes a lot of narration ripped directly from the book.

Was it a movie first then the book adapted from the screenplay? I read one like that before, it was just the movie written down

No it was a book first. The book came out in 1971, the film in 1998.
