Die, Monster, Die! is a favourite of mine...super loose adaption of Colour Out of Space. Not very faithful to ol' HPL but still a damn cool 60's horror flick.

Love Dagon too. Shame about the deceptive title, but it does manage to stay surprisingly close to Shadow Over Innsmouth. Still, I'd love to see someone take on the actual Dagon short story - really think someone like David Lynch could do some great stuff with it.

I'm gonna agree with Piz on Call of Cthulhu though...even though it was pretty faithful, that doesn't make it well done.

Guillermo Del Toro has been trying to adapt At the Mountains of Madness for ages now, but it keeps getting pushed back. Hope he gets around to it, because he's the absolute ideal choice for Lovecraft. Can't wait to see what he does with it.
