Schindler's ListFirestarter (such that it is), You could make the case for the Shining...some people don't like King's long windedness vs the tight fast paced Underrated Cut-throat Kubrick film. I hated the Kubrick movie but i've seen it several times on TV and I can't help watching - so I bought the DVD - damn good fun despite the flaws...the King made for tv version was atrocious...some themes don't work on screen.
The English Patient(Though together they work better than stand alone pieces).
Amadeus - though technically a play - so depending on the modifications??? - Since Shaffer wrote both the play and screenplay??
You could make a case for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, A Clockwork Orange(though I'm still reading the book).
