Books you'd like to see made into movies?

Why would you post that!!!! I hate clowns!!! ACK!!! Probably why "IT" scared the "sh" out of me. That book has soooo much potential for fantastic horror and the movie they made was soooo bad, it has to be redone now. With today's CGI, it could be amazingly horrifying.. It should be remade just for the simple fact the first movie was so bad.

If anyone hasn't read the book, you should, it's a great scary SK story.

"Flush Your Tanks," by I.P. Dailey.

Major horror, sci-fi fan all my life. My favorite book as a kid was Robert Heinleins "Stranger In A Strange Land", it would make a great movie.

Any of Carlos Castenada's first trilogy or any of the books after the trilogy for that matter, my favorite of the trilogy being "A Seperate Reality".

The Americans need to finish the other 2 movies in Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy like the Swedes already have, Ive seen the other 2 Swedish versions and I really liked their versions and the girl who plays Lisbeth Salander. "The Girl Who Played With Fire" should be the next movie filmed in the series over here.

Read "The Hunt for Red October", then saw the movie, when it came out. Thought it was pretty faithful to the book, which was an awesome read and the movie was great with or without reading the book. I read it, wife didn't; we both enjoyed the movie.

"The Hunt for Red October" is one of the few movies that I enjoyed nearly as much as the book. Lonesome Dove is another that I watch at least annually and is one of my favorite novels. As I posted before I'd like to see Clancy's "Without Remorse" become a movie and "Paul Revere's Ride" while not a novel but a fantastic true story would make a great movie.

I'd like to see Stephen King's "IT" made into a movie. I know there was already an attempt at it but that was an abomination not a movie.

Patriots: A Novel of Survival and One Second After

Great choices. I'd also like to see "Mars", "Return to Mars", "Moonrise" and "Empire Builders" by Ben Bova as movies. Add in a few of Ted Bell's books with the character Alexander Hawke in them.

My three hopes, and of course hopes for a good try, not something abysmal:

John Ringo's Troy Series
Naomi Novik's Temeraire Series

will NOT see anything Stephen King, refuse to pay my $$$$$ to build his bank account to spread his anti-guns views.


Agree with 'American Sniper' and ANYTHING by Larry Flynn.
