Can't think of many. Most book I read I like too much to be ruined by Hollywood. True. Battlefield Earth comes to mind. Great book. Horrible movie. |

Operation Nordwind. About the Germans' final major counterattack in the west (after the Battle of the Bulge). There have not been very many movies made about the US Seventh Army. |

Killer, by David Drake, with Karl Edward Wagner.
The best of both worlds, a good science fiction story, and a good Roman era story. For a fantasy film, Karl Edward Wagner's Legion From The Shadows would be great, and cheap to film, since much of the story occurs in total darkness. |

Dream Park --can't believe no noe has mentioned this one, with all the gamers we have here
Ringworld-- another vote-- modern CGI should be able to handle even Puppeteers But my favorite would be First Lensman-- heard someone was working on it, but I think it got stalled, as so many good films do-- the Lensman series reads a bit dated, written as it was in the 1930s, but could be modernized into a kickass story ETA: Wouldn't at all mind a true-to-print version of Starship Troopers, but the producers would likely end up in a huge legal battle with the makers of the other one-- pity that! Also The Stainless Steel Rat and Dragonriders of Pern, which is a real rabbit hole if ever I saw one |

Snow Crash as a movie
James Ellroy's Underworld Trilogy as an HBO series. Each book could make a 10-12 episode season, with big actors coming and going. I hate to say it, but I think the era of big war/historical epic movies is over. They cost a fortune to make, and outside the typical Arfcom crowd, not too popular anymore compared to CGI robots. |

Descent Into Darkness...
By Commander Edward C. Raymer But... I doubt Hollywood could produce such a film...Even with the digital technology that we have today. It's an incredible story written by a Navy Diver that had to help salvage the ships that were sunk at Pearl Harbor on December the 7th 1941. |

I had heard stories about Fallujah - 2004 from my nephew who was there (marine) but I'm unsure of what unit. He's told me some stories and House to House only cemeted what he said. Seems like it was the wild wild west during that time. Thank you both for your service.
