What's your favorite book to movie adaptation? Was it true to the original?

Lord of the Rings, for me. So well done. Seems like its very difficult to do well, though.

This Dark Tower adaptation looks like a stinker. What a shame it's a fantastic series.

I loved the way Peter Jackson brought LOTR to life, too. My father gave me the set of books when I was nine. In a sense I returned the favor by giving him the DVD set. 😊

My favorite was the first adaptation of Ursula K. LeGuin's "The Lathe of Heaven". An amazing book and movie. The storyline is so compelling that even the later adaptation is entertaining. But the first is truest to the book.

@bijouxbroussard I wish they had included the barrow wraiths though. They were spies sent to the area by the witch king of angmar in the second age, I read in the lost tales
