I'm a huge skeptic when it comes to film to book adaptions and often I hate the film versions with a passion but there are a few out there I love
The series of unfortunate events.
I am stunned that I loved this as I'm not a huge fan of the books and I usually hate Jim Carey but I loved this! It's so funny and captures the book brilliantly.
The Hunger Games
Yes there were bits that could have been done better namely the whole mockingjay pin bit but on the whole I love it and how it captured Katniss. I can't wait for the extended blu ray to come out.
The Hole
I love this film to bits. I love how it twists and turns but I really didn't get the book at all. A rare example for me of a film better than the book.
Stardust
I loved this film! I didn't read the book beforehand which is a rarity for me but went out and bought it afterwards because of how much I loved it.
what have I missed. Can anyone recommend any other good book to film adaptions

Not sure about 'good' ones but here's a pretty good list of them: http://booksintofilms.wordpress.com/list-of-adaptations/
