The Chronicles of Narnia- EXCELLENT! I read them as a kid and have very fond memories. Would be interested to know if they were ever made into film?

After reading the Chronicles, I did read more of C.S. Lewis' stuff... his other books are most excellent too. I highly suggest Mere Christianity.

The Narnia books are getting the bigscreen treatment--I think Lion, Witch and Wardrobe is coming out late next year. The visuals are being done by WETA, which did the Lord of the Rings movies.

There are several more low-rent TV and video versions avaiable. I suggest waiting for the more lavish versions. Lewis's stepson, I think, has a hand in them.

Some of the Chronicles were made into movies - http://www.imdb.com/find?q=%22Chronicles%20of%20Narnia%3A;tt=on;nm=on;mx=20 has a listing. Some were shown on our PBS affiliate. We thought they were well done.

Yes. Release date, Dec. '05. View the trailer for "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". The producer is using Peter Jackson's props and special effects company. Filming is complete. Now comes the editing and effects.

Probably already answered but in case not, at least the first three books were made into movies. I liked "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" but didn't get into the next two.
