For good stories, and especially intelligent stories, novels have it all over movies. That is the main reason most of the movies I watch are action or special effects oriented, that is the only thing the medium has that decent novels don't. Even in those cases though, novels can have some advantage - the novelization of the first Iron Man movie had lots of back story and asides that made the movie more interesting.
