Monday night TCM showed the 1946 movie The Big Sleep, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. That led me to recall that fifteen Chandler books became movies, including Murder My Sweet, The Blue Dahlia, Strangers on a Train, Lady in the Lake, and Time To Kill. 
 
So, consider other books that have been famously made into movies.
 
Add in books that have given rise to TV series.
Which of these book/film pairs are you familiar with? What is your opinion of each? And what can you add to the list?
