Hi Brijesh, This is (yet another!) very good poll that was very well researched. (Bravo!) I'm going to have a tough choice voting because there are five films on the list that do the books justice, or come very close, which is amazing because those five are also great novels (To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath, The Age of Innocence, The Hours / Mrs. Dalloway, The Yearling).
Since you're specifying adaptations of the books, I don't know that 'The Hours' fits exactly: it's based on the book but it's not really an adaptation of the novel in the strict way that "adaptation" is most often used. One of the segments, for example, is about Virginia Woolf as she writes Mrs. Dalloway. The other two segments certainly share some of themes of the book and they each start with preparations for a party, which the book does, as well, but, for example, the characters, while sharing some similarities, aren't the same. I don't know, I guess it could be considered an adaptation in the most liberal sense of "adaptation" but I'd say that it's more of an illumination of that novel and Woolf's life and work, in general. I've assigned that film when I've taught Woolf's work and I've never called it an adaptation but I suppose one could stretch the meaning of "adaptation" and it's your call, of course.
RaviNathan's edits are definitely good but may I suggest a few more? (in bold below)
