I have never read anything from Ayn Rand, but I do know that not all movies based on books suck. However, I agree that making a good movie adaptation based on a book with everything told the same way would require a really dumb book (as dumb as those novellizations of movies).
If you're making a movie out of a book, you almost have to change things, but it's not necessarily for the worst. Look at Jurassic Park. Excellent book, good enough movie, even though so much was lost in the process of adaptation.
I want someone to make a faithful-enough adaptation of "The 39 Steps", by John Buchan.
