I will give you bonus points for other obscure or micro genres, but giallo comes first.

A Clockwork Orange primarily.
In fact, most Kubrick films are better than their books.
Barry Lyndon and Lolita are too finally and thematically different from their books, to objectively compare, but both the books, and adaptations are great.

Also, a lot of Hitchcock films are (too many to name, but definitely the famous ones) better than the books.

To include plays, any Kurosawa shakespeare adaptation is >>>> it's source material.
