The Dr Strange thread got me thinking what else would be fun to see on the big screen. My votes...in no particular order. Nova - Delaney Warriors of the way - Harrison A Deepness in the Sky - Vinge Pern Snow Crash - Stephenson The Baroque cycle - Stephenson Elric series War for the Oaks - Bull The Forever King - Cochran/Murphy Grandmaster - Cochran/Murphy Empire of the East - Saberhagen |

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
And finish the Border Trilogy. They already made All The Pretty Horses. |
|
Life of Horatio Nelson ending in the Battle of Trafalgar.
Life of Jean Lafitte Movie adaptation of Alas, Babylon. |
|
Red Storm Rising would be amazing if done in a Band of Brothers type mini-series but you'd have to have the right director to do it. Debt of Honor and Exective Orders would be a great set of movies as well.

The trial and hanging of Hillary Clinton for treason............
|

Conf. Gen. Johnson Hagood at Petersburg. His flag is captured. Hagood rides up to he Yankee and demands it back. When the Union soldier refuses, Hagood shoots him, seizes the flag and leads his men back to their lines. The Yankees are too stunned to shoot.

I would like Ken Burns to do a mini-series about the Transcontinental Railroad, focusing on the work of General Grenville Dodge.
|

A Battle of Britain film....provided that it's done right.
The one from the 60s is good, but I want more. |
|

An epic about the Battle of Kursk. 5,000 tanks going at it would be something to see in an imax theater.

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. |

WWZ done right, like the book. Prob best to do a mini series to get the pace. HBO to get the 'tone'.
Also, Day by Day Armageddon. And No Remorse |

Neuromancer, directed by David Fincher, done in rotoscope animation.
|
|
Any Harry Turtledove book or series, but it has to be done right
|
|
|
A mini series of Swiss Family Robinson. Not the Disney shit. Exactly how the book has it.
|
|
The Wheel of time by Robert Jordan. Done HBO series style like game of thrones. There is enough material for at least a dozen seasons.
|
|
There was a book about a decade ago called "Meaning of Night", it would make an incredible mini series.
|
|
|
|
|
Battlefield Earth by the crazy L. Ron Hubbard but done correctly.
Would be a trilogy as the book has three distinct parts to it. |
|
"The girl who owned a city"
Because Logan's Run and Lord of the Flies fell short. |

Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors And another vote for this. |

I want to see any movie where the hero is a white male.
We won't see those again. |

Some of John Ringo's stuff would make a good movie or mini-series. Also like to see Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. |
