Probably this had been posted before,but What books you think that they should turn into movies??

Steven King still has a lot of books needs tobe made into movies,so I'll go with him,
here are some of my other favorites,
Soul-Eater by Dana Brookns,
Undertow by Drake Douglas.
There's more like Dean Knootz,he has a lot of books also to be made into movies.

the watsons go to birmingham would make a good movie

A Series of Unfortunate Events is being made into a movie and they r pretty good so....

Superstitious by R. L. Stine

That Old Devil Moon by Anne Logan

Is My Sister Dying by Alida E. Young

Why Me by Deborah Kent

The Passenger by Patrick A. Davis

The Remember Me three book series by Christopher Pike

Son of Rosemary by Ira Levin

Ok, when they came out with a Princess Diaries movie it was similar to the books. But the sequal has really nothing to do with the books, and I'm slightly pissed. If only they'd make a movie for every Princess Diaries book out there, then the world would be a much happier place ;)

Also, Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje would make a good film.

There's a book I read a few times called 'Under the Hawthorn Tree'- I just found out it was made into a tv movie in 1998, but can't find out anything else. It's about 3 children walking across Ireland to find food and emigrate to America after their mother and Baby sister die. It's a brilliant book. There are 2 sequels, no film adaptations- I've read the second book, can't remember the name- but it's aobut one of the sister's lives in America training to be a made for a rich family.

I know the one your talking about. My cousin recomended it when I was in Ireland. I have all 3: Under The Hawthorn Tree, Wildflower Girl, Fields of Home. I love those 3 books!

Superstar- thanks for reminding me of the other 2 books names! After writing the post I really want to read all three again! I remember reading a little of 'Fields of Home'- but not much. Out of the first 2 books, 'Hawthorn' is the best, thought Wildflower Girl was brilliant too. They should make films out of them for theatrical release.

The first book defintly should be made into a movie, I'm usually not into books like that but I really enjoyed that one...

even tho a Clan Of The Cave Bear movie was made back in 1985... I always wished they'd make more movies based on the Jean Auel COTCB book series.

A couple of years ago I read this great book entitled "The Dress Lodger," which would probably be a good movie.

Way back when I was in high school I read a great book in religion class called "The Last Western" that I always envisoned as a big sweeping epic of a movie. The book is several hundred pages long and follows the main character from birth to old age, so perhaps it would make a good mini series as well.

Catcher in the Rye although I don't think it will ever be made and it probably shouldn't be.

The Five people you meet in Heaven.

Catcher in the Rye can't be made into a film, because the author JD Salinger will not sell the rights to any of his works to be made into films/stage plays, and he also has a stipulation in his will blocking adaptations of any works after his death. He did it because he was unhappy with a movie version of his story Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut (the movie was called My Foolish Heart). It's a shame- many people love the book, and George Clooney was seeking for the rights to produce a movie a few years ago.

However, there's a movie of Salinger's Franny and Zooey, called Pari, but it's an unauthorized adaptation.

I think Judy Blume's books would make great movies, like Here's to you Rachel Robinson and Just as long as we're together.

Sadie by Jane Elliott and Jane Blonde: Sensational Spylet by Jill Marshall

I think "Night" would be a good one or "A Child Called It"

I agree the Judy Blume collection. "Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing," "Superfudge" and "Fudge-A-Mania" would be great.

As mentioned earlier, "The Catcher In the Rye" NEEDS to be made into a movie. I've read that Sallinger is actually warming up to the idea.

"Always Running" is another one of my picks.

I have a series of books (7) written by David Eddings and entitled 'The Belgariad' i would love to see them made into a movie, however to do this with enough care and attention to the books, i fear they would have to make them like 'Star Wars' (3 movies) i have always liked 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy as well but i'm going to stick my neck out and say 'The Belgariad' could outstrip LOTRs without any problem. They are faster paced and contain many more characters, not to mention a gripping storyline. LOTRs was too drawn out and sometimes boring for me, that would be an impossibility with 'The Belgariad' If you have'nt read the books and that's the type of thing you like, read them, you most certainly won't be disappointed. Incidentally, David Eddings also wrote a follow up series called 'The Mallorean' (also 7 Books) so we would need another 3 movies for that as well. Fabulous books they are too.
