I would disagree strongly about The Shining. The two forms are both good, each has strong points, and I wouldn't say either is better. As for 2001, it was a movie before a book and Clarke helped write the screenplay before he wrote the book to flesh out some other things, so it doesn't apply to the "book turned into movie" category.
