Dragonriders of Pern - I loved this book the first time I read it but I always felt it was unfilmable. But hey, they did justice to the Lord of the Rings and also Dune which I also thought was unfilmable. As far as a director, I probably would like to see Peter Jackson or a Ridley Scott do it since it's such an epic story. I think both of them would do the book justice.

The Mist - a short story by King. My favourite of his short stories and one that just creeped me out the first time I read it. I had read a couple of years ago that Frank Darabout was once attached to this project. I haven't heard anything about it in awhile. While Darabout did justice with other King projects, I think a Steven Spielberg would do a better job. As far as cast, I'd have to think about that one, perhaps by re-reading it again.

Great topic, Piratehunter. There are other books that I'll add at a later time.
