Books that should be made into movies - Part 1

Books that need to be made into movies!


 This will likely start out with little traffic but please anybody that comes across this - as long as constructive - I'd like you to add books and discussion on books that should be made into movies.  Bonus points for anyone that makes storyboards or with AI pictures from neverworks...!

As I titled this I want suggestions for books that should be made into movies.  I'll put some criteria

The last 10 ish years have been a hell of horrible remakes of great classics and being a "Scifi/fantasy geek" with an eclectic reading list it has been exceptionally painful for I know they could have made TEN "Battle Beyond the Stars" for one of these modern Woke-bustiers.


When it comes down to it we have a wealth of exceptional scifi and fantasy that has not been turned into movies.  From the mid 40s to the mid 80s, my opinion, are the best.  Note that Star Wars and to a lesser bit Star Trek are not that original but rather a tribute to the long standing literary world of sci-fi and fantasy.  Conan was at least a direct adaptation of one of the best of its genre, namely REH's Conan though seen through the comics and later Carter/DeCamp adaptations as much.

I love fantasy, scifi and adventure fiction and have all my life.  I do not enshrine the past but grew up reading novels, magazines, comics from 2+ decades ago due to my city (small town to most of you) having limited "new" stuff but lots in many used bookstores and an excellent library.  New to me.  So I read what was the greatest eras, from the classics like HG Wells to the late/mid 80s and was so into that I didn't notice the shift of the late 80s into the 90s.  When I was a young adult and able to be a "Tycoon" and buy new books it was a shock the "Woke" or what we called "Political Correctness" had been forced into them.
