It happened with Lord of the Rings. I have never been able to get through the books, but I enjoyed all of Peter Jackson's movies.
I actually haven't read the book -- I did read the original short story that appeared in Analog, back in '77, and really disliked it. So, I never got the book.

I'll probably see the movie, though, for pretty much the same reasons.
