All the Clancy movies have been quite poor when compared to the books.
Only one I think is really any good is The Hunt for Red October...brilliant film, although still not as good as the book (& misses *a lot* out).
Hmm. Some other book to film adaptations...
The Godfather - excellent book & excellent (1st two) movies.
Jurassic Park - excellent book, OKish movie (great special FX, but v poor adaptation of the book).
Sin City - excellent graphic novel, excellent movie.
