A.S. Byatt's Possession is one of my favorite books, but I really didn't like the movie. I didn't even finish watching it. It just fell flat for me-- the characters, the story... all of it.
Big Fish is a great choice. I liked the book, but loved the movie. I thought the movie was more emotionally powerful than the book; it was also so beautiful to look at.
