Not just Elric either..... all the Eternal Champion series. Fucking great books.

I used to play Elric RPG years ago.
They reissued his stuff in anthology editions. I've got most of them. :biggrin:
Ghat has too... although, they may be at my house.

Isaac Asimov's "The Foundation Trilogy." If that can be done well, I would love to see that done like they did the Lord of the Rings - all three movies at once and then release them one each year for three years.

I think they'd have to make that as a miniseries because even each individual novel is more like a collection of stories more than one movie-style plot, either way I'd still watch em.

I'd like to see Stranger In A Strange Land made into a movie. Just because it's one of my favorite books ever, and I think it could make a worthwhile movie if done properly.

This would be a good one to make into a movie. Sort of like Stardust, but good:-
