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.
I usually like both, but I think that sometimes the problem is that in movies they sometimes change something and put something in the movie that was not in the book. Sometimes makes it better, but sometimes not.
