I'd love to see Rama, but not on the big screen.
I find that books work *much* better as a series, like Game of Thrones, movies are like a haiku, they can be interesting and compelling, even moving, but true depth is difficult in under two hours.
A well done, well funded series can be much deeper and satisfying, plus you get the suspense each week. It takes good 'movie hygiene' to enjoy films these days, I lock myself away from any reviews, making ofs, discussions until I have seen the movie, with fresh eyes and no preconceptions and not having already heard the best lines and I'm enjoying them much more.
I'd love to see Cryptonomicon as a series or movie, but it would be a gargantuan effort to pull that off.
