IMHO. ... guess I try to forget them as quickly as possible! But for best adaptation I would name To Kill a Mockingbird and The hunt for Red October; the latter was, to my mind, better than the book, in spite of Connery's relentless Scottish accent. Thinking of Andromeda Strain also brought to mind The Hunt for Red October. Is Red October Fantasy or Sci-Fi? Or is it Adventure, High-Tech Adventure, Military fiction? What is it? Fantasy or Sci-Fi? Or not? And if not, why not? ... The Golden Rendezvous, The Black Shrike, and The Way To Dusty Death are all nicely done.
Early Tom Clancy, like The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games, is a good bet, as is early Dale Brown Flight of the Old Dog, Night of the Hawk.

Hmmm. I tried a couple of Louis L'Amour novels that my uncle had. I wasn't impressed. I loved The Hunt for Red October, but thought it was downhill from there, so stopped reading Clancy's books.
