Impr3ssion: LXG.
Numskull: From Hell (stretching the definition of "book" just a bit)
sotc77: clifford
elirlandes: V for Vendetta. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. From Hell. Anything by Alan Moore, really.

aleo09: not sure
scriptorum: Far far far too many eligible choices.

SteveK2: I've always hated the movie "Catch 22" - all that wondeful dialog in the book that just got ignored.
Helenoftroy: Queen of the Damned- Poor Anne Rice, she wasn't even allowed to help. The movie made no sense what so ever.
brainrob: Dune
keldrak: almost all the stephen king movies, although there are a few good movies based on his books
River Blue: Running Man
haraggan: Probably "Troy," but I was pretty disappointed by Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining," too

GeminiWeb: Not sure
mrbeankc: The Postman
chillrunr: bonfire of the vanities...wait, was the book even that good?
