About the only thing I can come up with is The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. Scary as hell but good

I nominate Scent of a Woman. It was adapted by Bo Goldman. It was adapted from the novel ‘Il buio e il miele ‘ by Giovanni Arpino. Rarely does a screen adaptation retain the juice from a print. Goldman also does it with his personal touch. He has this finesse that is almost impossible to miss or not relish in his screenplays. I have said it before and may I say it here again, Bravo, Mr Goldman.

Yes… I do…. Harry Potter Series is just like the movie, and it adds a little more to the suspension…….
