The Breathing Method by Stephen King

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

Let’s All Kill Constance by Ray Bradbury

Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck

Cup of Gold by John Steinbeck

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. That book was written to be a movie. I'm certain of it.

Nothing to add right now. "The Selected Works of T.S.Spivet" is already being picked up for a movie version. Although these bastards decided to give it a new name. :D

The Art of War. I think a movie about Sunzi's career as a general and how it influenced his philosophy and tactics in warfare would be absolutely fascinating.

I like it as told by the Soldier the best.

They should at least make Star Wars: Death Troopers into an animated movie.

I've been mulling this over but I don't want any of my favourite books to be turned into movies. I was so excited for the Hitchhikers Guide film and it was so dissapointing.

That said the Discworld TV movies have been getting gradually better, Going Postal was actually really really good.

Anyway I want them to make a good movie of Stark by Ben Elton and keep it set in the 80's, none of this contemporary treatment malarkey

This is likely to never happen, but a true adaptation of A Stone for Danny Fisher. I mean, sure, I loved King Creole, but aside from the names and the overall story, it had nothing in common with the book.

I'd like a REAL adaptation of the Inheritance Saga by Christopher Paolini. That awful movie of Eragon doesn't count at all.

You do realise there was a TV adaptation of Stark, starring Ben Elton... I think that's all I've seen, I haven't actually read the book :)

The Little Sister by Raymond Chandler

I really enjoyed this book, and I would love to see it as a movie..

Stole my idea...

Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism series
Children of the Lamp series
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

I remember when I was really liked those books as a kid, they anounced they were going to make a movie around the time Harry Potter was really popular and they were making films from pre-teen novels to cash in. I think Richard Curtis might have been some how involved but I don't really remember.

I did not realise that. Is it any good?

The Passage by Justin Cronin :) I know that the rights were already sold to a film studio at some point, but I've not heard anything else about it!

Storm Front by Jim Butcher

The TV series of the Dresden Files isn't bad. In fact, I loved it. I'd just like something that's an actual adaptation of the books.

So it looks a "Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini is being made in a couple of years. I would also like the Bone franchise to be converted into movies.

Supposedly in the works, but I'm super dubious about the insane amount of pop culture-referencing remaining intact. Even if they could afford the rights to the numerous video games, films, and music HEAVILY featured in the story, I doubt Lord Lucas is gonna allow images of kids landing Millennium Falcons in the parking lot of their virtual high school.
