Which stories should be movies?

I think that the sci-fi book All Tomorrows by Nemo Ramjet should be a movie.

I also think that The Four Accomplished Brothers by the Brothers Grimm should be a movie. Hardly anyone remembers that story nowadays because Disney hasn't touched it but I like it more than most of the other tales that Disney has turned into movies.

Hmm, lets see...I really want them to make movies out of James Patterson's Maximum Ride series and Christopher Paolini's Eragon series. They need to comepletly redo the first Eragon and continue with the series. Being popular books, I figure the movie producers would get big money off of readers who are fans of these books. I don't know why they havn't tried making these novels into films sooner. :study:

I own a really old book of stories by the Brothers Grimm and all the best stories have been ignored by Disney. Disney is a joke.

Trusty John is another good story.

All three books in Richard K Morgan's Kovacs trilogy should have their own movies. That, and there should be more faithful adaptions of Surgei Lukyanenko's Watchers pentalogy (the Night Watch and Day Watch movies sucked, and the last 3 books haven't been adapted).

actually, Maximum Ride is getting made into a movie. it's just taking a long time, it seems. I think it comes out 2014.

I would like to see Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy turned in to a movie trilogy, but I have a feeling someone involved would find a way to make it suck, if done right it could be really awesome.
