Many of them based on books of the same name. I wonder how many saw the film after reading the book or never read the book in the first place.
I have and it often ends in disappointment. Not B&W but Jaws is one that comes to mind.

A bit O/T but if you liked Chariots of Fire, The Boys in the Boat is a book with a similar theme and is pertinent to the Seattle area where I'm currently living. The film based on the book has just premiered here and is on general release from Christmas Day.
