That. Is a deep cut, and yes.
Hunger games.
I should really read those, as I really enjoyed those movies (the earliest ones more than the later ones, admittedly). What's so different about the movies?

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke is one of my most beloved series
read that series several times and when they announced a movie I was so hyped!
and the movie was just ok :C
I haven't seen any movies based on books since then unless it receives high praises which I haven't seen much
The NeverEnding Story
So true. Michael Ende was a total genius and the book has to be filmed again. It has so much potential for surreal dreamy landscapes, morphing sceneries, psychedelic images...

Well. It's clearly not a book, but Disney's Hercules was the first time I really felt disappointed about going to the cinema. My ten year old brain was having none of it. I wanted the adultery, the murder, the dirty stuff the story was supposed to have and I think it's the Disney film (that I've watched) I hate the most up to date.

Don't know if it counts as "classic", but Mortal Engines comes to mind. The film cut out over half the book. I loved the book and got really excited for the film, but it was a massive let-down. They could've easily made the film twice as long, maybe more.

I know its not a classic, but Dan Brown's inferno the book and the movie have two different endings and it angers me every time.
