    ermmm harry potter... oops someone already beat me to that one.

    I'd say the rest of the Antony Horrowitz Alex Rider books... everyone loves a young bond. Or would that be too much like Cody Banks?

    I got heaps...

    The NeverEnding Story (one that actually sticks to the story in the amazing book and keeps the proper ending and moral of the story)
    The Redemption of Althalus (although I wanna make this into a 13 part TV series, but it would cost a mint to make)
    Galax-Arena (My favourite book of all time)
    Discworld Series (I think they have made a few, but I havent seen any, so I cant comment on how good they are, but there is such good source material (and so much of it) that it is stupid to just let it go to waste)

    I'm the guy that said The Giver,yeah,well sometimes it is best to not turn it into a movie,most times they ruin it or go over the top,I think it's actually best to keep Giver as a book!

    Catcher In The Rye

    Warriors cats series. Warriors: The New Prophecy was good too but i prefer teh original. or maybe Warriors: Power of Three when the next 5 books are evantually published (probably not until i'm done with highschool at this recent slow rate! i wish they'd go back to a new book every three months! i've been waiting since march!)

    I would like to see a decent attempt made of making a movie from "The Outsiders" by S E Hinton. The one that was done many years ago lost so much of the detail of the characters, their emotions etc, and just played out the base story line.

    The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.

    There are two movies - but none of them is accurate enough for my taste. Especially the second one is very bad.

    I thought Interview With The Vampire was very good,heck even Anne Rice herself thought it was very freakin accurate to the book!lol

    A fan-fiction book written for Harry Potter.


    Harry Potter and the Parliament of Dreams


    Actually that fan-fiction is longer then any of the real books so... how about a series? lol like an HBO or Showtime series.
