There are a lot of things that would make cool movies (but sometimes I'm not so sure they should be, since half the time they screw it up.)
Here are a few.
Chrono Trigger: The 1995 Squaresoft RPG is my personal favorite game, and story ever, and I'd like to see it made into an ANIME movie, in Japan and then released into america (you know if America made it, it would be shit.). I'm kind of scared they would mess it up though.
American Gods: By Neil Gaiman, this book is damn cool, and it would also make a cool movie in my opinion.
A few of HP Lovecrafts stories: I know they made several of them already, but most of them were Low-budget (haven't seen Herbert West yet, but since I didn't hear about it before I started liking Lovecraft, I'm sure it wasn't that great.). If someone made The Case of Charles Dexter Ward into a movie, a GOOD movie, it would be worth it.

Hmm, there are probably others, but this is fine, at least for now. Tell me what you think.
I would like to see Frank Peretti's "This Present Darkness" and "Piercing the Darkness" on the big screen... Dean Jones attempted to start it in the mid-90's, but it didn't fly in Hollywood. Perhaps another try?
Re: Chronicles of Narnia....
It is already in the works of being made--all 7 books:
CS LEWIS' NARNIA ON THE BIG SCREEN IN 2004?
*************************
As the Lord of the Rings trilogy comes to an end this December, will it be be followed by the 7 part CS Lewis Armies epic? The Chronicles of Narnia may reach theaters in December 2004 with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Doug Gresham, the stepson of CS Lewis was asked what his opinion was of the forthcoming live-action Narnia movies: "I rather think they are going to be great... since it was my idea." He said that he had just inked the deal to give a green light for production but didn't want to reveal studio names as "that would all come out in the press soon." He said that he would be co-producing it and would co-direct. His main goal was that the special effects would not be the star of the show but instead, it would be his father's story. 'Never change the words of the master'". 'Lord of the Rings' tool/FX makers Weta have the contract to handle the film's technical elements whilst Andrew Adamson (Shrek) will direct with a mid-2004 release planned.
HOLES WILL OPEN APRIL 28 --CS LEWIS' NARNIA COMING!
*************************
The same production company that is responsible for Holes, is planning to do CS Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, which would be released through Disney.
Narnia - Christmas '05. The hope is that this series will be successful and that all 7 parts of Narnia to be released, one each year, as The Lord of the Rings has been. CS Lewis and JRR were best friends.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PRODUCTION COMPANY
It is the goal of Walden Media to turn quality books into great motion pictures. They are the group currently involved in bring C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia to the screen. I must say that I am very excited about the commitment of this company.
If all goes well, they will be releasing all seven Narnia books, one per year, as feature films beginning in 2005. Exciting stuff!
Walden Media released “Ghosts of the Abyss” on April 11th, 2003, with The Walt Disney Company. In this groundbreaking 3D large format film, director James Cameron uses state-of-the-art technology, including revolutionary 3D photography, to journey back to Titanic. Currently in production is a film adaptation of Jules Verne’s “Around The World In Eighty Days,” with Jackie Chan attached to star. The company is making the first live-action film adaptations of C.S. Lewis’s book series The Chronicles of Narnia, beginning with “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” to be directed by Andrew Adamson (“Shrek”).
