The Accidental Tourist is one. Chilly Scenes of Winter is another. I
liked the first very much; I am mad about the latter (which was also
released under the title "Head Over Heels").
The Big Sleep also comes to mind; in spite of the weird cuts required in
1945 Hollywood, it does justice to the Chandler novel.
Oh, and To Kill a Mockingbird. I can't resist either the movie or the
book.
I had read all of these before seeing the movies made from them.
