I was going to mention the Potter flicks, but someone beat me to it. ;-)

I'm minorly disappointed to not see Jurassic Park on the list, laugh if you must. Personally, I thought they did quite the decent job making the book into a movie (excluding the special effects, mind you).

The other other two books/movies could fall off the planet, should've never been written/produced, IMHO.
