What are some of the best and/or worst adaptations?
Here's a couple:

Best

From Campbell's novella "Who Goes There?"

The Thing (From Another World) (1951) - terrible adaptation, wonderful movie
The Thing (1982) - reasonable adaptation, great movie

Worst

From Asimov's short story "Nightfall"

Nightfall (1988) - Asimov's hard to adapt to begin with since he tends to tell his stories primarily through dialogue, but this thing is not only an awful adaptation, it's also a fantastically bad movie.
