The Hunt for Red October

Gone with the Wind

The Black Stallion (loved both as a kid but the beach scenes on the desert island were lovely on film)

This is a show but "Jeeves and Wooster" series did the best job of being true to a book I have ever seen. Though nothing is better than Wodehouse in print. So witty!

Joy Luck Club. I found it easier to follow who was who and the different storylines in the movie.
