These are not the films you are looking for.

What Books have been made into top tier films, Lord of the rings comes to mind, as does Schindler's list, and my personal favorite Apocalypse now. But not all movies have had such success i.e. Earagon. But films are a different view into a novel, its the directors and screenwriters, instead of yours. But film is also a different art form, then words on a page. And both art forms have surpassed the standards we set for them time and time again. But a book to movie adaptation has to be true to the book, and true to the fans to succeed.
