Re: What is the best movie adaptation of a book you've ever seen? What is the worst.

I remember seeing a adaptation of War and Peace and thought that the screenplay was magnificent, they got there characters spot on and the they didn't alter the plotline.Highly recommended for all tolstoy fan's. As for the worsed, its gotta be Catch-22( better if they the book as it was).
