To Have and Have Not
There was a bet with Howard Hawks around making a good movie based upon Hemingway's worst book. Good movie, lousy book (and I am a Hemingway fan)

"Out of Africa" from the memoirs of Isak Dinesen, the pseudonym of Karen Blixen. She also wrote "Babette's Feast" which is also a great movie.

It's a hard one because I always find films lacking if I have read the book.
For a tv series, I will say Game of Thrones hands down.
For a film, I will say Angels and Demons. The reason being that I thought the film was much better than the book. The book IMHO just went too far, I really struggled to read the end it was just way too far fetched. The film I thought was excellent. My favourite Dan Brown book turned film by far.

Fifty Shades of Grey.
Naw, just kidding.
Probably for me, it'd have to be Die Hard (based on "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Rodderick Thorpe). Not quite a straight port from one to the other, but both are good in their own way.

Bladerunner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, though the movie and book are very different)
Dracula (I have several favorite versions)
The Haunting (1963 version directed by Robert Wise, based on The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson)
Jaws, though the movie is so much better than the book I tend to forget about the book
One of my top ten favourite movies of all time! I'm so glad you mentioned it. Scared the shit outta me as a kid!
My favorite(s)..and I'm pretty sure Ive listed this first one before.
'Misery' by Stephen King. Cathy Bates played that role brilliantly!
The Hobbit
All Harry Potter movies
'Intesity' by Koontz. If you likes suspense, read or watch it! OMG...

It's a REALLY good movie (and book too!). Billy Bob Thornton can do no wrong. I will watch bad movies to see him act.

So very few make the transition well...
I'll go for jurassic Park, if no one else has. I read the book not long after the film came out, and I remember it being a lot different (the old fella who owns the park died in the book, and the scientists tried to destroy the park rather than just escape...if I remember right). In fact the only thing they seemed to have in common was the dinosaurs!
But that film was iconic for so many reasons, so has to make the list here

Looking forward to seeing The Dark Tower this summer (and preparing to be disappointed).
And It, too.
Sticking with just Stephen King:
Shawshank Redemption
Stand by Me (based on his story The Body which came from the same collection as Shawshank)
The Running Man (Actually, very different than the book, but Schwarzenegger killing a bunch of bad guys and spouting some of his greatest/cheesiest movie lines, packed with ridiculous 80s action from start to finish, what's not to love?)
