Heinlein's classics have been mentioned, but I don't think they would currently be able to be made. To much sex and religion in them. I think a better option would be almost any of his "juvenile" stories. They generally have simple plots with more action perfect for Hollywood.

I like the Retief idea, but it would only work as a British comedy.

For modern stories, put me in the Weber/Drake group.

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet but should always be talked about in these type of forums: Anything by Zelazny, but his Amber series is the most famous.

I for one would love to see a good adaptation of Zelazny's "Lord of Light" - - one of my all-time favorites.
