Possibly the entire LOTR franchise. Those were some really damn good movies.
This shit right here.
Books a shit.
But neither are that good.
Might just be my personal preference for Roeg's erratic style of filmmaking as the book is also pretty good.

Stand by Me. The original book has a melodramatic rainstorm suddenly start up during the climax, and the Ace Merrill character is way scarier in the movie. Not to mention the over-the-top ending, where ALL of the narrator's friends die instead of just River Phoenix.

This, I have heard so many people say the book is better but Kubricks changes to the story made it much better.

Secret Window.
I think part of it is that Stephen king can't write decent endings.

Jurassic Park
Starship Troopers if you think of it as a satire on adaptations. Funnier still when you know Verhoven didn't finish reading the book.
Not hard when the source is 2500 years old.
Fight Club
Gone Girl
Goodfellas
Jaws
