Books you would like turned into movies?

Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, come to mention it.

Douglas Adams was in the process of getting the books set up to be shot as a film when he died. There was an old TV series, but the effects were pathetic. Adams felt that the late 90s brought CGI effects that would do the book justice. I thinka major studio (can't remember which one, I'll look it up) has owned the rights for a long time, but they questioned whether a sci-fi comedy film could really become a blockbuster. I think this viewpoint has changed now, and there is still talks to get the books shot.
