I must admit I still think the Great Gatsby was the best conversion from book to screen that I have yet seen.
Mostly I find reading a book and then seeing a movie adaptation disappointing as a movie by its very nature cannot capture all that is contained in a book.
The one surprise that I found was Harry Potter, where you pretty much have to read the books in order to understand the movie - this is especially true for the first movie.
