Books to Movies???

Well I know they have made lots of books into movies like the Lord of the Rings Trilogy or Harry Potter... But what book do you guys think should become a movie?? Thats if you read of course.

I think Mortal Engines and its sequals written by Phillip Reeves should become a movie.It would be a classic.

Goosebumps. The entire series is pure gold if done correctly. 8)

I just hope the director would be able to properly flesh out the parallels between The Blob that Ate Everyone and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.

The Blob that Ate Everyone is an amazing book. The raw, viceral intensity of the story kept me turning the pages. Told from a rich, complex narrative, R.L. Stine's book kept me guessing to the mind blowing conclusion. It also contains some references to Ayn Rand's works Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.

I'd actually love to see a proper film version of Catcher in the Rye, but I know such a thing would be near impossible to perfect :(Setsa

Darren Shan vampire series would be pretty good. Interview with the vampire is my fav book and I finally caught the movie on TV last night and it's the worst thing I've ever seen o_Otofu-lion91

Ooh :) Well that's something I can look forward to :)

I read the first demon book and didn't get into that so I'm not so keen for that to become a movie lol :P

I am a lover of Sci-Fi so I would like to see a few made into movies:

Larry Niven's The Integral Trees

Larry Niven's Beowulfs Children

Issac Asimov's Foundation series (this one would be ambitious, would require many movies)

Gordon R. Dickson's Wolfling (an AMAZING book and a must read for anyone who likes sci-fi)

Neal Stevenson's Snow Crash (another AMAZING book; anyone who likes cyberpunk, computers or just a good read)

Also, maybe a world-class version of Martin Eden (my favorite book of all time). The acting would have to be impeccable, though.

The Vampire Lestat would make an amusing film.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is my favourite book, so that obviously.

I think I'd like a 100% faithful adaptation of Ulysses, that'd be epic.

You can read books at your own pace, but i like movies better because you dont have to use your imagination to picture what is going on.rgd51

True but alot of books that were turned into movies got alot of stuff taken out.So by reading the book before a movie always helps.

The Dragon Keeper books, for sure. They were lovely reads.

Gates of Fire by Steven PressfieldSaintLeonidas

Terry Goodkind's Sword of the Truth series should be made into an epic saga like Lord of the Rings. Those books are awesome! JustPlainLucas

I'm guessing you haven't seen the TV series they've started based on those.

Dexter would've been cool as a trilogy, but the show has much more depth to it.

It's a syndicated series actually: Legend of the Seeker.
