Great novels with justifying films

My friend Lisa and I always get onto the topic of novels and movies, and together we have agreed that there have been some novels which have, more then successfully, been turned into movies, some of those movies almost outshine the novel from where the inspiration was drawn from. Undoubtedly there are many films based upon novels that should never have been created in the first place but there truly are some greats, in my opinion these are a few of the best novel based films I have seen:
Clockwork Orange The Godfather Lolita Interview with the Vampire

very true, interview with a vampire was great, as was godfather, but not all 3 of them! thinks some parts of this apply to comics, but only sin city and the new V for vendetta. as the other movies made about comics are kinda badly done, cept X-men. Go hugh!

You rock Bee, my friend.
