I've read 95 comments and I'll be darned if I know any titles being discussed.
There are some great short stories that haven't made it onto the screen yet:
Master and Man by Tolstoy
Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor
Demon Lover by Elizabeth Bowen
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Brave New World by Huxley
Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn

Actually, If I recall correctly, The Heart of Darkness has been made into a movie three times. In one, a 1958 TV movie version. . . Boris Karloff played Kurtz. It's even been made into an Opera. In 1978, Francis Ford Coppola moved the setting from the Congo to the Mekong Delta, and changed the story's name to Apocalypse Now and made a mint with Marlin Brando as Colonel Walter E. Kurtz and Martin Sheen in the "Marlow" role, Captain Benjamin L. Willard.

Great list! Brave New World is being made now, or is in development. Heart of Darkness was made as Apocalypse Now. Master and Man is one of the greatest things ever written, feels more like a great short subject. I’d love to see it. I have read Demon Lover, but given your taste, I’m going to now!
