Re: Good/Bad adaptions

Jurassic Park
The Princess Bride
Not necessarily superior, but personal favorites:
Both the '60s TV and '90s film takes on the Addams Family (very different, but as a tremendous fan of Charles Addams' comics, I love both for what they are)
The Lord of the Rings (yeah, sure, many of us can agree on Jackson's LotR being a solid adaptation... but I ALSO fell for the Rankin-Bass Hobbit and LotR cartoons)
Poirot-- maybe not superior to the books, but perhaps equal, Suchet channels Poirot with such care and attention.
Return to Oz-- which brings me to...
Bad as an adaptation but DEARLY beloved as its own thing:
The Wizard of Oz. I LOVE the Wizard of Oz, I will even forgive it the 'all a dream' ending. The film and books were very big for me as a kid.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Loved this, even if it is QUITE different from the book-- enough so that Kesey only ever accidentally saw a part of it on television.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, I would say departs enough from the source material to qualify as its own thing.
I know I'm blanking on some things-- certainly I'm not thinking of any adaptations I hate at the moment, though I am sure that they exist.
