Oh I loved the movies, haven't read the books yet. I did find The Road a little hard emotionally to get through as at the time I watched it as I kept thinking about my own children.
I really enjoyed reading 1984 and then watching the movie it felt like they threw the book on the table and made a movie. Was really good and quite refreshing that there are movies created from a book, not loosely based upon a story which shares the same title.
Also as mentioned the Tom Clancy movies. Clive Cussler's Sahara was disappointing (good movie, but I was expecting to enjoy it as much as I did the book). The godfather takes the cake. I think when the author is involved with a movie it turns out quite well.
