  • Books that should be made into movies

    You guys ever read a book that just begged to be made into a movie? One that comes to mind is Rainbow Six, probably one of the best Clancy books. From what I can tell they've casted the movie a few times but it never came to fruition.

      Any of the Reacher books -- hell, all of them.

      Any Vince Flynn stuff.

        I felt the same way about Without Remorse.

          Totally agree, one of my favorite Clancy books. Matter of fact, I just re-read it a few weeks ago. To bad if it ever gets made they'll find some way to screw it all up like the rest of the Clancy movies

            A Confederacy of Dunces
            On the Road(being worked on)
            The Great Shark Hunt(title story)
            Invisible Monsters
            The Resturant at the End of the Universe
            The Electric Kool Aide Acid Test

              Gates of Fire, of course 300 sort of covered it.

                I think they would screw up a lot of the intent and the why of the story.

                Over the years, I've read that book 4-5 times.

                  Stephen Kings' From A Buick 8. That was a bit of a mindfuck I would like to see on screen.

                    Problem with Stephen King is that 95% of the movies made from his books are garbage. The only movie I think they really did justice to for him was Christine.

                      You're out of your goddamn gourd!

                      The Shining
                      Green Mile
                      Shawshank Redemption
                      Cujo (ok, I admit that one is cheesy)

                          They fucked Christine up...left out sooo much shit, I havent been able to watch the movie since I read the book. Green Mile, Shawshank, and It have been done justice, in my opinion.

                            I haven't read the book, however I'd still have to say it's a good movie, even if it's 1/2 the movie it could have been.

                              I think taliwhacker was pennywise before tali. I think. Don't necessarily remember that far back.
