I'm sensing some pent-up interest in my TIFF-week discussion question on favourite adaptations from novels....ahem...OK, more as a thank you to Stuart, I will say that I was thinking of this as from novels you have read (but didn't necessarily like).
A few of my faves are "The Last Tycoon", Elia Kazan's 1975 movie of Fitzgerald's last, unfinished novel, starring DeNiro in a very unusual performance for him (a movie which, incidentally, I am somewhat unique in appreciating). Two more mainstream faves of mine are Apocalypse Now and The French Liuetenant's Woman, in both cases great and seemingly unfilmable books turned upside down and successfully re-invented as movies.
