Lord of the Rings - the film was more engaging and did some much-needed updating.
The Princess Bride - I think the casting and delivery added more that the novel couldn't provide at the time; the new version of the book incorporates the film into the narrative so I think it's better than the movie.
Fight Club - Not that the novel was horrible to begin with, but I think the movie had more ooompth, especially by the time we get to the ending.
Starship Troopers - The film and the book are two entirely different creatures.
