Rolling through the "what are you currently reading" thread got me thinking of some of the best & worst books to movie adaptations. I probably have quite a few to list on the best side, but right off the top that I can think of are probably LOTR and the Shining.
Possibly the worst was John Carter of Mars. Having Pixar completely butcher Edgar Rice Burroughs' tales of swordsmanship and planetary romance was unbearable. It could have been much better in the hands of Sin City's Robert Rodriguez, but instead it was a laughable hug fest that missed poorly at the box office.
What are some that most of you remember.
