Books you'd like to see made into a movie

Gawd... there are a few movie-related threads going at the moment so I thought I'd over-populate the theme and add another.

What book or series of books would you love to see made into a well-financed movie or series?

I have two that immediately spring to mind:

1) "Rendezvu with Rama" - Arthur C. Clarke

It's well known that Morgan Freeman is super-passionate about this being accomplished, but it's such an overwhelmingly-huge undertaking that apparently the logistics are too difficult to manage at this stage. Not sure of the specifics, but I'd love to see these overcome and (ultimately) a series of four movies realised - Rama II, Garden of Rama and Rama Revealed. Then maybe Gentry Lee's additional two following these. Wow.

2) "Dragon's Egg" - Robert L. Forward

My favourite book of all time. Forward used real physics to describe his civilisation surviving, living and evolving on a neutron star. Sheer brilliance.
