What classic science fiction and fantasy books would you like to see made into movies or miniseries'?
NONE OF THEM.
Making movies from books is admitting that you are creatively and intellectually bankrupt.

Making movies from books is admitting that you are creatively and intellectually bankrupt. That's a little harsh, isn't it? I'll agree that Hollywood has gone way overboard with the concept, but in some cases, taking a work from one form to another is a guesture of respect and love for the original. Most operas, for example, are based on other books and/or plays... does that diminish the opera?
