Books you think should be made into movies

I was wondering if anyone had any books they think should be made into movies.

I just recently finished three books by Brent Weeks called:

The Way of the Shadows

Shadows Edge

Beyond the Shadows

These books are part of the Night Angel trilogy, and i have to say its the best trilogy i have ever read. Well the books are quite long so i guess they should be made into 3 sepreate movies. but alas most books made into movies just aren't like the books. Thats the only problem i have with making these books into movies.

Rhapsody series

Halo series

Absolutely none. I'm sick of seeing good books dumbed down for idiots.

Red Storm Rising.

None.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

On second thought I would like the Yellow Pages turned into a -120 hour one continuous shot- movie by Alexander Sokurov and screened to a crowd of movie execs tied to their chairs. Twice.

That's not fair Garb, you always have to give somebody a chance.

You need a movie for the abbreviations used in that book alone.

Already done, already awful. I think that book is unfilmable.

That piece of crap dont deserve to be mentioned.
Lord of the rings was unfilmable too.

Deathlands - the whole frickin series, by J Axler et al.

Also I don't think it is unfilmable in 2010, maybe when the first one was made (which was a travesty).

I mean for crying out loud they are making Science Fiction genius Isaac Asimov's the Foundation series into a movie (though I'd prefer it if Roland Emmerich didn't come within a hundred miles of Brave New World).

I'd also say Huxley's Island would make for a good movie, it is a better book and certainly would be easier to film just maybe harder to capture the feel of that book.

A ton until you remember it's similar to game--->movie adaptations. With a bit more success but most of them are in the past.

"Baudolino" by Umberto Eco.

I think Umberto Eco is a terrible writer and so is Baudolino written: terrible - but as a film it could be very good. Just like "The Name of the Rose" was. I´m not a fan of the idea to make a average film of a fantastic book, but the other way round, it could work.

This book maybe childish but it's pretty good. I emphasize 'pretty good' because I'm a teen and like I said it's childish so I didn't appreciate it except the children. It's called The Warhorse or just Warhorse. I think Spielberg wants to make movie version out of it.

Steven Pressfield's "Tides of War,"

A pretty good book that would make an awesome movie.
