My worst two have already been mentioned. Both great books and extremely poor movies - Clan of the Cave Bear & Puppet Masters. I wonder if there is an inverse correlation with books quality being very high that "forces" the movie to be very poor.
Having worked, peripherally, with video, I realized that where a book can provide the "skeleton" of the background and the reader fills in the "meat" from their own imagination, a movie has to explicitly create the background for every scene. This does impose a definite hardship on movies.
