books that would make great movies

since her other 2 books have been ruined by movies.. i won't say Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty Trilogy (which would have to be NC-17 of course, which most of those don't get the best actors, nor producers, etc.)

but i'd honestly liketo see Tom Robins Fierce Invalids home from hot climates..
 
the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy - douglas adams

timeline by michael crichton (although i'm almost entirely sure whoever gets ahold of that is gonna fuck it up, did you see congo?)

somebody needs to make the longest movie in the history of movies and do a faithful reproduction of Dune

the celestine prophecy - james redfield (currently in the works i believe)
 
I kind of hate when they make books I love into movies. The worst examples are Gone With The Wind & Harry Potter.

Love the SF recs at the top of this page, especially Dune, my fave SF series. I'd like to see TV shows (which are much longer, thus better than films, provided they don't deviate horribly from canon) of Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series, K.F. Breene's multiple series except the most recent, anything by Richelle Mead, Barbara Wood or Christopher Pike (especially his The Last Vampire series), a non-animated The Last Unicorn by Peter S Beagle, I.T. Lucas' Children of the Gods series (might need soft core porn), Sarah J Maas Throne of Glass series or whatever it's called, Sarah Woodbury's Out of Time series (kinda like Outlander but with multiple universes & set in medieval Wales circa 1100 on)...& anything paranormal reverse harem.

I really want to see neuromancer..specifically directed by chris cunningham.
Then I want to see Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive..and virtual light, idoru, and so on :D

Or Snow Crash, Ringworld, The Magician, Memory Sorrow & Thorn...

There aren't enough good fantasy/sf movies out there..most of them are just mediocre and rely on fancy fx. Hopefully the recent batch of relatively good ones will help solve this though :)

ps: I've been hearing rumours about an ender's game movie for a long time...hope it does finally get made. And I thought Spielberg was making a film version of Memoirs of a Geisha..? But I guess that was a few years ago now...

Omg, anything by Neal Stephenson but especially The Diamond Age & Snow Crash. Anything by Gibson would be nice too, though I thought a few of his works had been made into films?

There is an expensive LE line of perfumes made by Thierry Mugler, IIRC, inspired by Perfume. I also loved that book & adore/collect perfume (& other scented things), so it was like a dream come true to buy & decant them. But I don't think I'd enjoy it as a movie. Not my type of film, overall.
 
^ the movie adaptation of perfume is ok - it's a great book obviously. the movie benefits from the casting of the late, great alan rickman.

I'd like to see Once a Warrior King adapted to a film. I think it would stand out among other Vietnam flicks. Also, why did Vietnam stop being a movie topic two decades ago?

Also wish they would adapt the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn to film. And just completely replace the new trilogy of Star Wars with it.
 
Literally every single book by Richard Laymon would make EPIC horror movies.

Also, all of the Irvine Welsh novels that aren't already movies.
 
The Manifold Trilogy by Stephen Baxter could be amazing as films. Same thing goes for Feed, Deadline, and Blackout by Mira Grant ( the newsflesh trilogy, the best zombie books ever) could make another stellar trilogy.

Any Douglas Preston book could also make for excellent cinema, especially Impact and Blasphemy...
