I'd be quicker to mention video game movie adaptions (Doom ... so much missed opportunity)
I'm going to go with Timeline by Michael Crichton. Having read the book it seemed like such a simple thing to turn into a really cool movie, but they just completely butchered it.

I tried to watch Doom a few weeks ago (sober, which didn't go to well) and I was shocked to see Rosamund Pike, and even more shocked to read that she turned down Harry Potter for THE DOOM MOVIE!

The tom bombadil parts of lotr are a non sensical waste that I struggle with every time I read them. His omission from the films made sense. He had no real purpose. Also the changed ending of the hobbits not murdering a bunch of people makes a way better ending.
I kinda wish the mafia aspect was included in jaws.
