What is your favorite book that was made into a movie?

As we know, the movie does not always match up to the book. Yet sometimes it's even better. The source, still, is the book. So what BOOK did you love that later became a movie? Also, do you think the movie carried it's weight, was better than the book or poorer than the book?See More
