Pryderi,
Agreed- Tender offered just about all the raw emotion and pain that I could stomach...F. Scott really was a tragic hero, and I suppose Tender made him somewhat of a martyr.
Apocalypse Now is fantastic! I did enjoy Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but I have to say that the movie eclipsed it (and I NEVER say that!), though it was more of an inspiration for the film than it was an adaptation.
Grapes of Wrath is a prime example of what to do on screen w/ great raw materials. I think I remember reading that Harper Lee said she actually liked the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird better than her own. Even if she liked it 'as much,' that is lofty praise coming from the author!

you've been given so much advice, so I just wanted to correct someone here:
The ring of the Nibelungs (Der Ring Des Nibelungen), and I would actually advice you to watch the like-named movie (or a TV-show) 'cos it seems to me it's made perfectly :)
