Wow talk about a thread revival. I have just recently had time to get back into reading for pleasure and I must say I like Vince Flynn. Very Tom Clancy-esque with similiar jack ryan theme.

Good stuff guys.

Done, and fairly recently iirc.

I was kidding really. I'm sure there are better choices.

I've always wanted to see a movie and/or documentary on Doug Henry (the motocross racer). That guys has had more hard breaks (literally) than any other athlete I can think of. He broke his back in a horrific crash at Budds Creek in '95. He came back to win the title in 1998 on a new YZ400F (and, he won at Budds Creek!).

The story goes on from there and is, unfortunately, pretty tragic (again). But man, that guy has heart!

Snow Crash

Eric 88 Carrera 02-22-2012 08:47 PM
Definitely Snow Crash

The Stainless Steel Rat books by Harry Harrison
The Hammer and the Cross series also by Harrison
Footfall by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein
Starship Troopers in which it actually followed the book

I would love to see The Blade Runner remade using modern special effects

Book to Movie............
 
Pretty much anything written by Robert Heinlein. Stranger in a Strange Land would be a good one.

Three years and rumor finally has it, well, still a rumor for a 2012 release date.

Odd Thomas (2012) - IMDb

Looks like a good cast that could work.
Nice, I'm watching this again right now. Entertaining movie if you like this sort of thing (which I do). Damn shame about Anton Yelchin.

Norstrilia by Cordwainer Smith.
Or any of his other books about the Instrumentality of Mankind.
None of those will ever be made, too strange.

Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove. Civil War and time travel.
Or any of his other Alternative History books.

Matt Helm books by Donald Hamilton. But true to the books.
Matt Helm was a cold-blooded killer, not the Roger Moore era James Bond movies as protrayed by Dean Martin.

Mindswap by Robert Sheckley.

Ringworld by Larry Niven
Or any of his Known Space books.

YESSSS - Michener - also Chesapeake or The Source! But mostly TEXAS!

Stephen R. Donaldson's The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series. CGI is up to the job.

Eric Hahl 03-10-2025 12:57 PM
I'd like to see more Michael Crichton stories made into movies.

Right now, Cell by Robin Cook would fit in with the times.
