I would love to see the 2 Magician books made into about a 3-4 season AMC or HBO series. The story of Rupert Avery from Fiest could stand on its own as well.

Won't lie. I wouldn't mind seeing Mass Effect turned into a 3-4 season HBO Premium TV series by the original story lead.
Paragon, SPC/WH, Fem Shep(standard model) w/ Liara LI (plus Kelly season 2), of course. May not be the most fun, but would stand to make the most money.

Would also enjoy seeing 40K. However, fuck the UM. Start with Decent of Angels - that way you have the total jarring of story environments. You introduce what Space Marines are and you already have the best legion involved from the get go.

It's your lucky day. This is happening... and they got MICHAEL FASSBENDER to play the lead.
TheThieves' Worldseries would make an epic STARZ-Spartacus-blood-and-sand type series. Awesome universe / characters / lore.

I just skimmed this thread quickly so some of these might have already come but whatever.
I would like to see all these titles done either as films of the LotR quality or a HBO series (like Rome).
Mars trilogy (or Quadrilogy depending on how you look at it) by Kim Stanley Robinson
Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov
Many of the Robot series stories by Asmiov, would be a good series with Dr. Susan Calvin and Elijah Baley as the main characters solving robot and non-robot related crimes
Hyperion series by Dan Simmons, at least the first two books.
The Dune series by Frank Herbert, the Sci-Fi Channel did a decent mini series, but it could be improved on.
Star Wars: The Thrawn Trillogy by Timothy Zahn, probably one of the best of the SW novels. There are probably a few other good ones but after reading this and then 6-7 worthless SW novels I gave up.
Mass Effect series - only please god have a better ending!
Star Wars Jedi Knight (Kyle Katan) they would make a good few films.
Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein, always like that book.
To Sail Beyond the Sunset by Heinlein - if only to see Hollywood try and portray the rampant incest and crazy shit that's in this story!

one more vote for a well done Warhammer 40000 movie. Nothing, in the entire history of human imagination, has the potential to reach the level of epicness of this movie

I thought an animated version of this was made a few years back, with Kiefer Sutherland voicing Raistlin. Those first three books were pretty poorly written, as I recall, but Raistlin remains one of the baddest-ass fantasy characters of all time, in my opinion. He was the one diamond floating in the sewage.
I would second seeing the Belgariad/Mallorean done, those were fun books. Or the original Icewind Dale trilogy. Funny to think that Drizzt 'Boba Fetted' his way to stardom after being kind of a secondary character at the start.
