My offering is perhaps a subset of your category. The worst rendition of a book to movie that I've seen is Dune. At the time the movie first came out I'd read the book twice, once just weeks before I saw the movie and I was unable to follow the story in the movie. I think they've reedited and redone it, but I doubt it's much better.

You should try to watch the Dune mini-series that came out in 2000.

It was actually pretty good.

Actually, I've seen it and agree, it was pretty well done. I'm referring to the first feature film Dune, which was highly publicized at the time it came out and was abysmal.
