Have you seen a film and thought that you should read the book, even after just seeing it?
I saw the David Lynch DUNE before I read it, and I think that it helped. For Whom the Bell Tolls, Richard III, Starship Troopers, From Beyond... film before movie.
I saw The Omega Man, then read the story, then saw The Last Man on Earth.
I know that there are more...

Factotum, Bright Lights Big City, and The Dead Zone.
The issue I had is that it skewed my own interpretation of the characters and settings. Come on, Michael J Fox as Jamie?

Howsabout the Shakespeare? We always read at least one play a year in high school, maybe more, and then would watch whatever film version that they would show. BUT, the Olivier Hamlet was always on the Sunday movie rotation, so...
Hamlet > Hamlet > Strange Brew >Hamlet (x90)
Then there's Throne of Blood and Ran, but I am positive that I saw those after I had read the plays in school.
