what are some of the classic sci fi books that would make a great movie?

I'm with you,Falconer. The concepts in that novel were really great, played campily yet effectively in the 97 movie. But a deadly serious adaptation would be just fine by me.

I'm also with Rico on Rama, and a twisted side of me really wants to see Dan Simmons' Hypetion get adapted.

I haven't seen the 97 film, just pictures and video clips on the internet, and it looks like soldiers fighting bugs. Of course the novel is far more than that, and who wouldn't love to see the powered armor?
