I actually thought they did a reasonably decent job of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. At least it was an honest attempt, and you could understand the reasons for the changes, pretty much.
I think Bridge to Terabithia is a more faithful adaptation than the publicity would have you believe. I haven't seen it, but what I've read makes me think it might not be too bad.
What makes me furious, though, is when they take effectively the title and the basic concept and completely rewrite everything else, like the TV adaptation of Earthsea (though I'm worried about the Studio Ghibli adaptation, too).

Rant on - and I will rant with you :)
