I read the book "Battlefield Earth" as a child, and reread it a few years ago. When the movie came out, only a few details came even close to what the book was actually about! Hollywood ruin over a 1000 pages of an interesting and thought provoking book!
-
Lord of the Rings. But then, it was almost impossible to meet expectations on Tolkien
-
Enemy Mine. Well that was a short story. Prince Caspian - God that movie was DULL!
-
Traditionally, "Catch 22". [altho' I've come to appreciate the movie too] ;-)

Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. The book ruled, but the movie as horrible.
-
it wasnt a book but a short story- 1408 being such a huge stephen king fan i was thrilled to know they were turning room 1408 in a movie because reading the story scared the heck out of me but the scenes in the movie didnt live up to the writing at all
-
The Other Boleyn Girl. The book was so good, but the movie just completely sucked in my mind, and did not do the actual historical and book very much justice.

Originally, I've always been greatly disappointed in Stanley Kubrick's " The Shining, " based upon a Stephen King novel. I now am trying to separate books from the movies and experience each as separate entities. I'm more apt to believe the movie is rather good now. Though I still pretty strongly believe actor Jack Nicholson ruins the movie with his over-the-top craziness; for me, he was crazy from the very beginning. PLOT SPOILER!! And his infamous ad-lib " Here's Johnny!" considered genius by many, I found the ultimate insult to the entire King novel and Kubrick's movie. I literally groaned in disbelief in the theater at that point. I still much prefer the TV mini-series of "The Shining. " +5
