good films bad books
Setting aside that "Silence of the Lambs" is an amazing book that birthed a thousand imitators and a popular obsession with serial killers and FBI profilers that continues to this day, I'd open the list of good films from bad books with Blade Runner and The Godfather.
I'm not counting books that were fantastic reads, then the movie made them even better, such as Jurassic Park (whose movie makes the park developer sympathetic instead of a corporate baddie and leaves the pterodactyls for JP3).
