Emma by Jane Austen was made several times, too!. Clueless is a modern adaptation, then there is the Emma Paltrow version and, also, a Kate Beckinsale version!.

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen was made into a movie with Frances O'Connor, Persuasion (also by JA) was made into a movie with Amanda Root and Sense and Sensibility (JA) was made into a movie with Emma Thompson!.

There are many more, no doubt, but these are the ones I either found online or about which I knew!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I can't tell you whether they're good or not, since I have neither read any of these books nor seen any of the movies, but I know of a few!.!.!.

Bridget Jones's Diary
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
The Devil Wears Prada

And a classic chick-lit that's been adapted to film a few times:
Pride & Prejudice (I've actually read this one, and I love it!. I saw the 2005 movie, and while it's slightly different than the book, I still like it!.)
