I'm wracking my brains to thnk of bad movies made from good books or stories, but I keep coming up against 'great and good' movies based on fiction.
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Grapes of Wraith
Rollerball (completely different than the original short story, while still keeping the theme)
Dances With Wolves
The Virgin Suicides
Snow Falling on Cedars
Carrie, Dolores Claiborne, The Shawshank Redemption, Misery, The Green Mile
Double Indemnity, The Postman Always Rings Twice
The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon
Planet of the Apes (And I love the original novel by Pierre Boulle, but it's a different beast altogether as a film)
The Omega Man
Soylent Green
Something Wicked This Way Comes
The Man in the Ice Cream Suit
The list seems endless .....
