The Great Gatsby is pretty much word for word.

The closest you can get is with movies based on classics. Pride and Prejudice, Shakespeare (although that's not really a book) and many others.
Any of the new ones made for teens basically wreak havoc with the plot. If you aren't a classics kind of guy, I would recommend the Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe. The very first scene and one other scene (crossing the river) were added, and there are a couple minor characters that weren't in the books, but other than that, it's really close to the story.

My sister says that if you watch "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," you won't have to read the book.
