Some movies just can't beat the book...well most can't! These come close IMO... Honourable mentions: Kite Runner, Water for Elephants, Shawshank Redemption
Top 5:
The Secret Life of Bees
The Lovely Bones
The Notebook (c'mon who can resist Rachel and Ryan, amiright?)
Misery (thank goodness it wasn't as graphic as the novel!)
All of the Harry Potter series (but especially The Philosopher's Stone)
