Not sure I agree with all of the books on the list (I thought To Kill a Mockingbird was a great film as well as a book). In this category, I would definitely add "Bonfire of the Vanities." I thought the book was far better than the movie.

The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende is a great book which was ruined when it was made into movie. A better job was done with Like Water For Chocolate.
