The Secret of NIMH has a lot of differences from the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. Especially the Rats.

World War Z
I put off reading the book after seeing the dreadful movie but actually, the book is pretty darn good. Not excellent, but a good read nonetheless.

The Great Gatsby and all of the film adaptations, the chief difference being the novel was actually good.

Pretty much any of the newer movies based on a Dr. Suess story.

Wanted is nothing like the comic in like any conceivable way. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is nothing like Who Censored Roger Rabbit either. And that's a good thing, because the comic is awful. |

Yes the film was pretty awful as well, but at least it did not hold the viewer in contempt that regrettably the author tends to do.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is nothing like Who Censored Roger Rabbit either. Who Censored Roger Rabbit was clever enough, but the movie was a masterpiece. This movie is pretty much the trump card against the "book is always better than the movie" argument, IMO. |

David Lynch's adaptation of Dune was only superficially similar to the book
Stanley Kubric's adaptation of The Shining was very dissimilar from the book

Christopher Nolan's Batman movies pretty much have nothing to do with the Batman books outside of superficial stuff like character names and the fact that Bruce Wayne fights crime in a bat-inspired costume.

Nonfiction example: the film Green Zone is supposedly based on Imperial Life in the Emerald City, though having seen the former and read the latter, the connection is dubious.
Logan's Run the film basically takes the premise of the book and not much else, adding a rambling old man, senile robot, a Carousel ceremony, and so much gratuitous fan service, it feels like a porno spoof at times.

This movie is pretty much the trump card against the "book is always better than the movie" argument, IMO. The author of Who Censored agreed, so much so that he set the sequel (Who Plugged Roger Rabbit) in the universe of the movie, therefore making it the only (official) Roger Rabbit sequel (as of now). |

The Running Man, seriously, try to read King-as-Bachman and then watch the film and you'll laugh even more!

Wanted. Kept Mark Millar's "world is shit" philosophy and got rid of a really cool universe where the world was run by supervillains.
Kick-ass: Kept the universe but got rid of the "world is shit" philosophy.
People like Kick-ass.

This movie is pretty much the trump card against the "book is always better than the movie" argument, IMO. I honestly didn't think it was very clever, I thought it was a bit slapdash. On the idea of not just being different from teh book, but nothing like it... I, Robot {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The book is about someone writing the biography of a robotics company CEO, who is telling different stories of robots who's programming causes them to behave erratically due to conflicts with the three laws and their surroundings.
The movie is about Will Smith destroying evil robots who want to save humanity by enslaving it. |

world war z is an interesting one though, since the book is all stories from different characters and THEIR perspective of events, the movie takes the once mentioned UN adviser and makes the movie around him ..... i see it as a PART of the bigger story myself
and i think that the books of jurassic park should be made into min series, keeping all the stuff in them, into two set's of six parters
