Bill the Galactic Hero by Harry Harrison. I first read this satire as a teenager and for awhile I had a hard time remembering which scenes I'd read in "Bill" and which came from Starship Troopers.
I saw "The Princess Bride" but haven't read the book but I thought the movie was excellent. A movie that was far different from the book was "Ella Enchanted." What I was struck by was how many changes they made to the book that it was almost a different story (the inspiration from "Cinderella" that was clearly in the book was hard to see in the movie).
