If you limit it to adaptions that don't improve on the book ("straight novel to movie") that's kind of a tautology tho.

How does something like Starship Troopers fit? Same plot and characters with the only substantial change being the tone.

There's a lot more changed than that - one reason the book was popular besides the politics was the tech, it's one of the first sci fi works to popularize the concept of "powered armor" (40K Space Marines are very directly inspired by this book)

Verhoeven's satirical tone and limited budget means he ditches most of that and the movie is about suicidal infantry charges, which is one of the other reasons fans of the book hate it
