Best & Worst

I will kick off with my favourites (and update based on responses):

Good:
1. Silence of the Lambs: beats the great book
2. Jaws: easily beats the pretty poor book
3. LOTR: great film but it just can't beat that book

Bad:

1. Gormenghast (not a film admitedly but still on screen): brave but ultimately foolish attempt by the BBC to recreate a classic book

2. Golden Compass: anyone? haven't seen it yet

3. The Passion: (admiteddly not a recreation of the Bible) but a pretty poor attempt at retracing Jesus's last moments on Earth./ It watched like pain "porn". Ultimately had no value.

4. Anyone else?
