Movies always differ greatly from books, but in some cases the differences are so huge they leave you scratching your head. Please add your own examples of things like dead characters living, living characters dying, breakups that should happen but don't, or murders being solved when the killer goes free on the page.

Watchmen doesn't have a different ending in the movie. Something about it is different, but it's essentially the same.
Added .L.A. Confidential, as the movie, while good, had a different character killed off towards the end
safe haven movie are differ from the book. i'm so frustrated...
