Hmm. Some things that I found different: Alex was much younger in the novel (I think he was only 14) and the book's final chapter (Alex's redemption) is of course omitted from Kubrick's film. I actually prefer Kubrick's more cynical ending.

The closest adaptation of any is The Onion Field by Joseph Wambaugh. Nothing was changed.

Are you looking for good movies or good movies that were better than the book?
There have been a lot of good movies based on books. Not nearly as many are agreed upon to be better than the source material. Especially when the source material is more graphic in nature (children's books, comics, video games, etc.). The exception would be older tv shows made into theatrical films.

I read it as a group of five or maybe six books. I read after I'd seen the film but can't remember what my thoughts were on the quality of the books just that the film was true to the book.

The book is written in the first person, so it's already off to a bad start. I am struggling to think of any decent novels using that narrative style, but I'm sure there are some.
It's just ****. I'm not a Stephen King fan though, so there's that too. He's a creator of great stories, but he's terrible at telling them. His writing has always bored me.

Catcher in the Rye maybe? Although I was underwhelmed by that one personally. Billy Liar by Keith Waterhouse too, that's one of my favourite books actually.
I'm hit and miss with King. I never finished The Stand, got 2 thirds through It and gave up and couldn't get past the first few chapters of The Shining, but have devoured some of his books with ease.

Harry Potter (they did a pretty good job with the adaptations)
The Martian (they did a fantastic job, and the movie is a very, very good adaptation of the book. Plus, the casting was perfect).
