Best movies adapted from a book.

[GonzoStyle]

What are some of the best movies you've seen derived from a book? Movies where you watched them and they made you wanna go and read the book? I'm not adding any classic novels such as Shakespeare I only say that cause there are so many great adaptions of Hamlet, Richard III, etc. Or Tolstoy & dostoyevsky but I do consider them some of the greatest adaptions ever. Here's some of my picks.

AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY (A PLACE IN THE SUN)
HEARTS OF DARKNESS (APOCALYPSE NOW)
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
GRAPES OF WRATH
STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
TWELEVE ANGRY MEN
FIGHT CLUB
THE DAY OF THE JACKAL
THE GODFATHER
THE EXORCIST
JAWS

EDIT* Thanks for fixing the title whoever it was.
