What was the worst bastardization of a classic book into a movie?

No one appears to have yet mentioned Forrest Gump. In the book he was a chess grandmaster who wrestled professionally and was an astronaut. Also, the book sucks.

I haven't watched or read it. Are you saying the movie is better than the book in spite of bastardizing it?

Yip. Also, they were very slightly totally different.

the book as an audiobook is good

Forrest was a POS and he was a bum because he knew it!
