Alas! Haven't seen it yet. When I see it maybe it'll get added :-)

The Shawshank Redemtion is one of the rare times where the Movie was actually better than the Book. I haven't read it yet, but Fight Club should be included for being a kick ass movie based on a book, wheather the book is good or bad. And I would Charlie and the Chocolate Factory even though the book and Movie are very differant, they are both good.

Added Fight Club, removed the dubious ranking scheme.
