V for Vendetta.

The original graphic novel is good, but very dated to the feel of the Thatcher years.

The film has aged a lot better and it smoothed out the pacing, making it much more enjoyable IMO.

I agree. I read the comics after the movie and while I enjoyed them, imo the movie was better.

What Dreams May Come. I love the movie. Could barely make it through the book.

The film makes substantial changes to the ending and some of the main plot though. The novel makes no mention of credit card companies, and the film ending is an atrocity.

Edit: this was supposed to be for the comment thread about Fight Club but apparently posted independently. Apologies for the confusion.
