Movies before books? Books before movies?

(This comes from a discussion that aveleh and I are having, because I haven't seen/read The Princess Bride, but I have both the movie and the book on hand, but started reading the book first).

With the Princess Bride I did the same thing you're doing (but I guess in my defense I didn't know the book existed until after watching the movie?) Generally I read the book before the movie is made, though.
