Here are some:
The Godfather
Ben-Hur
The Maltese Falcon (just barely; it's close but the movie noses out the book)
Bladerunner
Lord of the Rings? (blasphemy I know but I bet a case could be made)

Yeah, like you've ever really read a book cover to cover.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
