what film/book adaptations would you recommend?

[overthemill]

after getting a great recommendation about one of my favourite books being made into a film, I thought a new thread about this would be worth starting! Very often I can't bear to see a film of a book I loved but make an exception for:
a map of the world: Jane Hamilton book, film with Sigourney Weaver, Julianne Moore
but i warn you itt is harrowing and very sad

any others?

Blade runner... though I must admit I haven't read the book

• th epoint is which books have you loved that you also loved teh film of....

any more! i hated teh piano film too and not read book so am slightly off my OP myself!
