The worst; Battlefield Earth! Not only an injustice to a great novel, but a crappy movie on every level.
Zardoz, I agree with you on Starship Troopers. Not exactly like the book, but true to the book.

Puppet Masters was good enough, but just did not really draw in the audience that much IMO. It could have been better filmed, although I can not fault their dedication to the book. I just was not impressed by the movie itself.
