cressida picked Gone With the Wind...based on the book oleh Margaret Mitchell:
Rebecca, book written by Daphne du Maurier, directed by Hitchcock would be my second choice.

Other best picture winners that were based on books are:
-How Green Was My Valley (1941)
-Hamlet (1948)
-The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
-The Godfather (1972)
-The Deer Hunter (loosely-based adaptation) (1978)
-Terms of Endearment (1983)
-Out of Africa (loosely-based adaptation) (1985)
-The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
-Forrest Gump (1994)


I'm sure I missed a few nevertheless.

Nothing can be compared to the Lord of the Rings.
It should be called The Lord of the Movies!
