One of my favorite books and one of my favorite movies: Jurassic Park.
The book is definately better then the movie, but both are very good. The book just gets more in-depth with the scientific explanations.
An example of one that didn't translate well at all is Gods and Generals. The book just covers so much that it is impossible to make a very interesting movie out of it, even with the four hours it gets.
