Matilda, Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Full Metal Jacket, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (not the new one).

The first and second Harry Potter movies are the only ones true to the book. The more they go on, the more they leave out. The fifth one was so rushed and so much was left out that I think people who didn't read the books would be confused when seeing the sixth one.
