It is very frustrating since almost all of the great science fiction books and short stories have not been made into movies or tv shows....click on my name for my list—any of those novels or short stories would make _amazing_ tv or movies.

To be more specific, only one novel and one short story on my list made it to movies or tv (after I wrote the list).

Ender’s Game was a movie.

Think Like A Dinosaur became an episode in the second Outer Limits series—totally amazing episode, btw, did full justice to the short story imho.

Wow. I bet that you are right.

Back in College, I read the Foundation Trilogy and of course, Dune. Dune has been made into a movie, twice and Irobot made it to the big screen. Not the FT but the same author. However, my list of books these days is limited by my free time or lack thereof. Maybe when I retire, I'll get out my bifocals, and start on my book bucket list. I hope that FR still exists and with it your list. :)
