What book/comic/video game/historical event or whatever, do you reckon should be made into a film? Ever since I read it over 25 years ago, I've wished that a film was made of this book:- ![]() Anyone who likes 'vampire tales' will love this one. Unfortunately the book is out of print I believe, so you'd have to hunt out a second-hand copy. I remember that I couldn't put the book down once I'd started to read it. Would make a fantastic film IMO. More about the book from here:- Graeme's Fantasy Book Review: From my bookshelf: ‘They Thirst’ – Robert McCammon. |

I think the burning his feet to a stump with a blowtorch scene could be hard to get through the censors but it would make a good film.

A good violent western, based on the 'Edge' series of books. I was reading these when they first came out in '72. Would make Clint Eastwood's 'Man with no name' very tame in comparison. George G. Gilman’s Edge - A New Kind of Western Hero R J Dent |

I used to always be thinking of what book would make a good film, but in me old age I'm getting cynical because every book I've ever thought that about which has been made into a film, has been shite .Not that there aren't plenty that have turned out well, just not the ones that I've wanted, lol. |

I reckon that with the better special effects nowadays some of Ian M Banks Sci Fi Culture books should be achievable, as long as they don't cock it up by making them a 15 cert and make them an 18 instead.

Stranger In a Strange Land (Heinlen) Although a tv mini-sries might be better than a film, so you could get it all in. Always thought Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat books would make a good tv series too. |
