Erwha?

Rosemary's Baby?
The Shining?
Misery?
Silence of the Lambs?
No Country for Old Men?
Jaws?
The Hunger Games?
Princess Bride?
Gone With the Wind?
Lord of the Rings trilogy?
Wizard of Oz?
Casino Royale?
The Shawshank Redemption? (okay, novella, whatever. So add Stand By Me, too)

What are your favorite adaptations?

However,I totally give you this- the films of The Exorcist and The Godfather are much, much better than the books. The list of movies better than the books is pretty short. Oh, Jaws. Move Jaws to this list. Much better than the book.
