I agree with you that many adaptations have sucked. However, here are some that worked, at least for me

Great list, and I agree on most of them! Unfortunately, not one there is less than 37 years old, most nearer 50!

Today, in Hollywood, there is very little chance of getting a fair reading of a script withouth most of it being too 'controversial' for today's PC world.

When Tom Clancy has to rewrite Sum of All Fears, and '24' is vilified for having the audacity to look like real life in it' schoice of bad guys, there is zero hope that John Ringo and Eric Flint would get a reasonable chance.

Hate it, because both Flint's 1632 univerese, and Ringo's Posleen wars deserve a good series of movies.

Going back to reading "Ring of Fire" now, and have Vol IV of the "Grantville Gazette" waiting.... :)

I really should have done that spell check eh? {sigh}

You can see where my head and heart are. I saw nearly all of those in first run, including a couple of the ones from 1951.
