Long outdoor sequences that involve movement but very little activity through a wide area, that have absolutely no dialogue.
A novel can describe the scenery but will become tedious if it is describing a long journey. The Lord of The Rings books compressed weeks of travel into mere sentences, while invoking the feeling of a long outdoor journey is impossible to duplicate on stage.
On film, such imagery can easily be created to great effect (Dances with Wolves, LoTR, Cast Away, et al.) without becoming boring.

Facial expressions and human interactions...too far away for plays and difficulty describing in a novel.

In film you get to see the eyes;
the eyes are a reflection of the soul.
