Underland by Mick Farren
Done properly it would be the most entertaining movie imaginable. Black ops CIA/NSA spooks, vampires, Nazis and reptilians living in the hollow earth... It's not a conspiracy book it's the funnest novel ever. One of a series in his Renquihst the Vampire series. If you can find any of Farren's SF novels give them a read. If This Goes On.. by Heinlein The Man Who Sold The Moon by Heinlein And a second to Alas, Babylon being done correctly, set back in the time it was written. |

That war produced a pile of remarkable men and stories. Nairn, Soult, Calvet, Hill, and Picton's lives were worthy of Hollywood.

The Hobbit
Maybe something about Carlos Hathcock. Otherwise there's some really great suggestions here. I concur with the following specifically: Silmarillion (sp) Aubrey/Maturin series An accurate version of Starship Troopers More Ghost in the Shell, anime, we'll see how the live action is. That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure I'll think of more later. ETA: More Cowboy Bebop, animated and live actions |

Something about Genghis Khan. We have King Arthur we have Braveheart we have Alexander we have Troy and on and on. Genghis Khan was a motherfucker's motherfucker in every sense. Nobody else even came close. Lets get an American film director with a big budget and no desire to keep it real with ancient languages and subtitled bullshit. Rape, murder, arson, rape and a mountain of corpses. Go. You just described John Milius's life goal. I really hope he can get it made! |

Top three:
- a theatrical movie about Apollo 11...plenty of documentaries, but no movie???? - an Iraq War movie that just tries to be a war movie....not some political statement or another Elite Navy Operator Sniper Seal Celebrity movie - an epic (like the old epics; Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, etc) about 9/11....something that is long, in-depth, and FANTASITCALLY well-done EDIT: crap I forgot.....another top contender has to be a movie about Chernobyl. Just begging to be made. Only problem is it could easily and quickly turn into an anti-nuclear piece. |

They can use the Bovington Tiger for close ups and there are literally hundreds if not thousands of running T-34s in Europe and the Middle East. The final Battle of Berlin would also make a good movie.

The Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, aka the Frozen Chosin. Arguably the most epic battle waged by the US military during the 20th century.

Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors Came to post this. As good as that book is, I think Hornfischer's other magnificent battle-at-sea account called, "Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal" is perhaps his defining masterpiece. IMHO, of course. I'd like to see this honest account of how some our Navy commanders in that part of the world were so entrenched in the old ways of fighting on water they damn near lost our standing fleet in that part of the world. Don't even get me started on Adm. Ghormley, Commander of the South Pacific Area. Some of these guys did not come away with good legacies. We basically won with a little luck and the new school junior officers who had been freshly trained in newer tactics with the newly introduced modern equipment. Some defied direct orders from their captains to save the day across the series of surface battles fought. It's truly epic, and brutal, and maddening, and heroic. Quoted:

That's a great story and I'd love to see it in film. Edward Abbey was bad ass. Have you read his book, "Good News(oops wrong book, it's Brave Cowboy) "? It was made into a small B&W film from 1962 starring Kirk Douglas called, "Lonely Are the Brave". I recommend the movie highly. I fucking weep every time.

A Posleen War series would be awesome, especially if they did it as a premium network one. Hell let's crank it up to 11, I'd love to see (also as a premium network series) Kratman's Carerra series done. But that will never, ever, in a billion years, ever happen. |
