Fahrenheit 451 was made into a pretty good movie. War Of The Worlds (George Pal) was another. Winds Of War, a brilliant novel, was made into a mini-series for television but I only saw part of it. My two top favorite books, The Lost World (Doyle of course) and Watership Down were made into movies but I never saw the latter and only saw the former when I was very young and liked anything I saw.
Something Wicked This Way Comes was a disappointment on film though the book was great and Dune failed on the screen also though I never got around to reading the book.
With the quality fx available to film makers today someone needs to remake The Lost World. :)
