I've nothing against reading the original but it'd be a shame to miss out on things like Forbidden Planet (based on The Tempest) or Clueless (Emma). I recently read A Study in Scarlet for the first time and whilst it was OK I much preferred the Moffatt TV version.
Of course they are all adapted to a different medium. Off the top of my head I can't think of a book that's based on an earlier book where I've read both but the principle's the same.
