Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers - whoever thought of naming the movie after book should have *maybe* actually read the book, thoroughly. LOVED the book, hate that the movie bears little relative similarity
Princess Bride - There's a lot more information in the book than there is in the movie, but if you didn't know there was a book, you can still enjoy a light, well made film.
Catch 22- The movie has that WW II feel, and does a good job of creating a war like atmosphere.
Animal Farm - since it's a cartoon, it follows the book pretty closely, except for the ending. Why do people always mess with the endings?!?
Hannibal Lecture trilogy - Journeyman, I was surprised someone else had seen Manhunter! I enjoyed the new Red Dragon much better, although I would have expected someone a little more buff than Ralph Fiennes, but the story was well thought out. Liked Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs as well, except for them changing the ending at the end of Hannibal.
