Agree on Holes - read the book first, avoided the film until my parents decided to watch it last week. As a guest in their house I kept my lips zipped shut about the differences and did enjoy it.

Of course I agree with that too. But I wonder sometimes if my high ideals of book-to-film come from the author's descriptions (cruel yet attractive, powerful presence, magical aura) and the subtleties available when you can read character's thoughts.
