    I think the three mini-series did a fairly decent job.

    Pratchett was involved (and appeared) in all three.

    The Color of Magic/The Light Fantastic

    Hogfather

    Going Postal

    The Watch was kind of unWatchable for me; which is sad, because I like the actors.

    I would recommend any Discworld book wholeheartedly, anything with Rincewind is hilarious (The last continent is a favorite of mine), also I think Moving Pictures is pretty interesting commentary on modern entertainment. I read them all over a decade ago and some of the lines I remember still make me chuckle. EDIT: Also the movie(s) Going Postal are great..."The Smoking Gnu" :)

    That's just it though while Doctor Strange Love (1964) was #32 and Up (2009) was #924 there both vary good movies. There was plenty of recent and fun movies vary low on the list, consider:

    Bowfinger (1999), Solaris (2002), Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), From the Village to the City (1974), Going Postal (2010), Legally Blonde (2001) that's that's 4913 to 4918.

    PS: Granted, rating movies is a huge multi dimensional problem, just ask Netflix, but you don't need a lot of accuracy to find a good movie.
