The noble dead saga. (might be better as a multi-part TV drama like the BBC are known to do)

If you removed all the crap bits from the Anita Blake books, you'd probably have enough to make one really good film.

I'd better put on my nerd hat now.

Something like Fifteen Hours or one of the Ciaphas Cain novels.
But only if the movie was going to be good. If not I'll eat the producer.

Cain would make an awesome movie, but it wouldn't get made, wouldn't have a wide enough audience.

Eragon!

Oh wait...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo!!!
NO your fine saying that because technically that film with the title Eragon couldn't have been based on the book there were no similarities what so ever (namely one being enjoyable and the other being an hour and a half of pseudo torture.

OT; The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. If you like eragon you'll probably like this, personally i prefer it because unlike eragon there isn't loads of purple prose (over the top description).

All the rest of Dan Brown's books. Seriously, that guy has talent.
Dan Brown is OK, he just seems like another Stephen King, writing many books that all get turned into movies loosely based on the same premise.

On Topic.. hmm.. probably The Road by Cormac McCarthy.. oh wait, it IS being made into a movie! Hurray!

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, on the condition that it turns out better than the Hitchhiker's Guide movie.

the bartimaues trilogy. Although the whole thinking in two ways at once thing may be difficult to do in cinema.

Hermux Tantamoque would make a kickass family movie series.

Blacksad would be a badass action-thriller.

Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns would make a decent animated movie.

None of them.
Just about every movie adaption disappoints people and reading a book is so much better.
You haven't read 1408... was a short story, but still, sucked compared to the movie... was the exact same, pretty much word for word, in the hotel until he went into the room...

I would enjoy them making a movie out of Tunnel In the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein.
