I know of only one movie/series that was on par with the book, and that's Shogun. (The 9,5 hours series, not the 2 hours movie.) The series was an almost perfect adaptation, with only some of the less relevant background plots cut out.
Lord of the Rings was quite good as well. Some of the stuff that was cut out (Tom Bombadil, Barrow-Wights, etc) was even seen as a good thing, as some people find it to be irrelevant padding in the book.
