I would want the Amtrak Wars by Patrick Tilley but apparently its already being done by an Australion company set up for the very purpose of adapting that series, so I'm happy.
Awesome books if you haven't tried them, I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I had been recommended it by a friend one day, and when I finally got around to starting it I hardly put it down until I had finished it. Hell, when I think back about the book, I recall it as though it were a movie, it was that detailed. So yeah, that.
I second this but I would also like to see The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix turned into Movies.Alon Shechter said:
alot of you have made good surgestions but i shall offer one series that deserves a movie (aslong as it is done well)
I've said it before and I'll say it again; there needs to be a video game based in the world of Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan. It would probably be something like Deus Ex meets System Shock meets Mass Effect, and it would be awesome. The world of another of Richard Morgan's books, The Steel Remains, would also make a pretty kickass action RPG, and it would probably be the only fantasy game where applying the term "dark fantasy" wouldn't feel like a joke.
This is an obscure one: The Thursday Next Series by Jasper Fforde.
Ok, here' the deal: All those characters in literature? When you're not reading their books, their actual people that can think for themselves, and live their own lives... to a degree. They're also aware that they're in books, and treat their readings as if they were acting out scene from a movie again and again.
Now, take that premise, add in time travel, genetic manipulation, great action sequences, and some of the best British Humor since Monty Python, and you have a great series of books, and a great premise for, if not a movie, at least a TV serial.
Seriously. Read them.

MMO or RPG type game in the universe of the Bartimaeus trilogy. It could have a huge list of Djinn you can summon, varying in strength and easiness to control.
