Well for worst I've got two that come to mind

LXG - League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Completely changed the story and the character dynamics, making the characters into caricatures.

While I'll admit that it made a good popcorn movie, to anyone who had the read the original Graphic novels, it was an horrible adaptation and lost much of what made the books great.

I Robot - Which had nothing to do with the story with title and the story that was used was changed so much that it bears little resemblance to Asimov's writings.

For best, Definitely has to be Peter Jackson's Adaptation of Lord of the Rings.

I have to shamefully admit that I was never able to get through the whole series until I actually saw the first Movie, and spend the rest of the night reading through all three books.

While he has take liberties, to make it fit the medium, he's treated it with respect and tried to stay true to the original material. If you get the chance watch the extras on the extended editions. The amount of background work and detail is staggering.
