L.A. Confidential. A totally brilliant adaptation of Ellroy's book.
The English Patient -- kudos to the late, great Minghella for a terrific adaptation.
About a Boy -- Perfectly captured the tone, and changed the ending away from Hornby's ending (which anchored the book [unnecessarily, IMHO] to a specific date/event).
I enjoyed the Bourne movies (especially the first), but they really have only a nodding acquaintance with the original novel.
