Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I think it was supposed to be, but they're stalling or something. And I want it to not suck.
Also, I would like the Harry Potter movies done right... and by that, I mean follow every little thing in the book. Every conversation. Everything. If the end result is a three day long move, I will watch it.

There have been times where I have felt the same way, though not necessarily with Harry Potter.

George RR Martin's Armageddon Rag. It has some weak spots but the plot overall is excellent and the visuals therein would, I think, translate well to the filmic medium.
Ramsey Campbell's Ancient Images is another work that would translate well.
I'd also like to see The Mote In God's Eye onscreen, and am still holding out for Ringworld. I don't think there is a film I'd sooner see than a decent adaptation of that.

The Jack Reacher novels, would make an excellent set of movies. No idea who would play Jack, but if they got him right then they would cain the box office.

I know pretty much every movie based on a book by Stephen King suck more thana Uwe Boll movie, but I would want to see Cell turned into a movie. It might actually work, if they use somewhat unknown actors and actresses.

Either the Scarecrow Trilogy or the Jack West Jr books by Matthew Reilly. The special effects budget would be ridiculously huge though.

I would like to see the Vampirates series done into a movie. It was highly original and I liked it.

I'd really like to see Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell turned into a movie. I think that it would be a good one.
Oh, and Robert McCammon's Swan Song. If they can do it to Stephen King's The Stand, then by all means they can do it with Swan Song. Most likely it would have to be a mini-series, or otherwise a freakin' really long movie.

They're making a Metamorphis movie. I'm very against that.

Any of Carl Hiaasen's books although Sick Puppy or Basket Case would be my favourites.
