Best Subtitle: No subtitles in the group, but Remembrance of Things Past is alternately titled In Search of Lost Time

Best film adaptation: Deliverance (film of the same title)

Worst film adaptation: 2005 The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (though, I believe the quirkiness of this satirical Sci-fi comedy would be extremely difficult to capture adequately in a two-hour film).
