If you extend the definition of movie to include TV shows, then the TV show Dexter is a great adaptation of the Dexter books. I've only read the first book, but the TV series is a lot better (even though the book is very good).
Hellraiser, based on 'The Hellbound Heart' by Clive Barker is every bit as good as the book.
Lord of the Rings. I didn't like the books, but the movies are amazing.
