Gone with the Wind is terrific as both novel and movie. The Princess Bride was a fun book that was made into an even better movie. I'd also give a slight edge to the movie version of The Godfather over the book.
The movie version of Psycho is light-years better than the book, thanks to the genius of Alfred Hitchcock. Ditto for Jaws--Steven Spielberg made it outstanding. Three Days of the Condor is also much better as a movie.
