Books you would like to see adapted to film/tv

[phee]

Although a lot of good books can get ruined by movie adaptations (Johnny Mnemonic), there is still a lot of written material I would love to see made for the visual arts... 

Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson.

The Amber Series by Roger Zelazny 

Weaveworld by Clive Barker

What are some of your thoughts?

House of Leaves

The actual storytelling of the "Harry Potter" saga.

Ooh, the Amber series would be awesome.

Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

I'll have to think and post more later.

I would like to see the Dragonlance books made into a live action movie or tv show.  I think it could be awesome considering The Shannara Chronicles is on tv now.

I was surprised Snow Crash didn't get made into a movie back during the Lawnmower Man days when Cyberpunk was at its height.

I'm not so sure how to turn Amber into a movie, its proably in the so-called "unfilmable" bin.  I'm sure some studio owns the rights to it. 

Weaveworld...  I know I read it, can't seem to remember it very well.

The Silo/Wool  series by Hugh Howey , awesome read.  Would have to be 3 movies hopefully.   I wan't to see it done if for no other reason to get that bastard to revisit that universe he created with more books hah. 

Old Man's War by John Skalzi I think would translate well, and probably spawn a series of movies or even a TV show. 

 

Even if they never get made into movies, they are good stuff to read.

I'm annoyed no one mentioned Transmetropolitan.  I found a fan movie.  I mean imagine this shit with production value and people who can actually act:
