[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2534593, member: 26737"] I almost forgot--John Ringo's [I]The Last Centurion[/I] would make a good move, though Hollyweird would probably do to it what they did to [I]Starship Troopers[/I]. Jack Campbell's [I]Lost Fleet[/I] series would make a good series of movies, I think. Off the top of my head, these movies were extraordinarily faithful to their source works: [I]The Maltese Falcon[/I] [I]The Caine Mutiny[/I] [I]Hondo[/I] [I]Apollo 13[/I]/[I]Lost Moon[/I] [I]The Big Sleep[/I] [I]The Longest Day[/I] (although it does use composite characters, it is still true to the spirits of the book and of the event) Funny that none of those are recent books or movies (it's been almost 20 years since [I]Apollo 13[/I] was released)...then again, maybe there are new movies that are faithful to their source works, but I don't care enough to read them...
