What book would you most like to see adapted into a film (not one that's been done already)

[i]The Catcher in the Rye[/i] or [i]A Confederacy of Dunces[/i]. Both great vehicles for the right actor.

@EugenieLaBorgia as soon as those rights expire there are going to be a lot of shitty catcher in the rye movies out there
@prawntobewild I think weinstien and Spielberg had already tried before and even Salinger anticipated those rights would expire... and , possibly, some moron might serialize it!!

I can't think of any, but when I was a teenager I really wanted Airhead by Meg Cabot to be turned into a movie. Heck, I would still go see it if they made it into a film. :)

Memoirs Found in a Bathtub by Stanislaw Lem (the movie Solaris is based on his book for a more mainstream name.) I admit I actually listened to the audio book version of this when I used to work overnights alone. Since then he's one of my favorite authors.

It's about a guy who wanders into a hermetically sealed building who gets wrapped up in a bureaucratic conspiracy between two agencies of fighting spies, the building and the "anti" building. As the main character tries to figure out what his instructions actually are (he's deemed with a VERY important mission he's told) as he's led into a dizzying array of unhelpful characters with more sinister motivations 😂

I like it mainly because it's a metaphor for the absurdity of the cold war's paranoia and red baiting schemes but it also is about many other subjects.

The Botticelli Secret, or at least a TV mini-series.
Kamikaze Boys by Jay Bell. That's probably my favorite book.
The black cauldron. Not a cartoon but a real movie.
