I enjoyed the LOTR films and didn't mind some of the changes (totally understood removing Tom Bombadil for example), but I was very irate about the changes to Faramir's actions in the Two Towers in regards to Frodo and the Ring. I didn't see any particular reason to change that particular sequence and it just didn't go over well for me.
My favorite adaptation is actually a miniseries rather than a movie - the Shogun miniseries that they did way back in the 80s.
Worst adapation for me has to be Starship Troopers. Verhoeven completely missed the point of the book.
