I think I already saw Fletch on here, which is a great book and a hilarious movie.

I'm also a big fan of both the book and movie version of Thank you for Smoking.

Although the movie version of Fight Club is VERY different from the book I think it was well done over all and was about the only way that the book could possibly have been adapted into a movie. Internal dialogue and slowly revealed insanity just do not always translate well onto the silver screen.
