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 try to see them separately as they're two entirely different forms. But I think The Grapes of Wrath stands up a a really good representation of the book given when it was made.

@Ynotisay Fantastic book. A landmark.

@DanielChristensen Agreed. IMO one of the 'great' American novels. Having a black man suckle on a white woman in the late 30's so he could survive? Huge. Unfortunately, the theme is just as relevant today as it was then.
