What book or book series would you like to see made into a movie?

Everyone has a favorite book, book series or trilogy they'd love to see made into a movie.

What's yours?

The Shanara series could be cool, now that LotR and Narnia are covered....

Stephen King's Dark Tower series could be pretty epic as well...

Most of my favorite books have been or are going to be made into movies. I guess it helps that I don't read much other than Michael Crichton and Dan Brown or any new authors that come along. I'm hoping that after The Da Vinci Code comes out they make movies out of Angels and Demons and Deception Point. As far as Crichton goes I don't know if they are going to make movies out of any more of his books for a while after Timeline bombed. Timeline was such a good book to be that bad of a movie. I have 2 more Crichton books to read whenever I get a chance.

Hell yes it would. I don't know if they could even begin to do a half-way decent job on it, though. If they are going to fuck it up, I'd rather they just not do it.

I'd like more James Patterson books to be made into movies, they need to keep Morgan Freeman in them as well.

I just read "Brooklyn Follies" by Paul Auster. It had some eccentric characters and think it would make a good movie.

"Motherless Brooklyn" by Jonathan Lethem would be a riot, too.

What's with the Brooklyn obsession? Next thing you know, you'll be wearing a Jeter jersey.

:p

Dennis Lehane's books with Patrick Kenzie

John Sanford's books with Lucas Davenport (They tried one as a TV movie and it was terrible)

I think Dean Koontz's Velocity would be good, so would his Forever Odd and it's prequel... I can't remember the name to that one.

If they made "The Missing Links" by Rick Reilly into a movie it would be the funniest golf movie ever made. If anyone out there likes to play golf, and gamble while doing it this book will make you laugh so hard you cry. I highly recommend it.

Time to Kill and Dark Light, by Stephen Hunter

Would that be Odd Thomas?

Would that be Odd Thomas?

I believe so...

"A Hero of our Times" by Mikhail Lermontov, although I'd like to see it updated to modern times.

It would have to be multiple movies like the Harry Potter series, but "The Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan could be pretty cool if done right.
