  Definitely Edding's Belgariad series.
  
  And also The Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends. (heck it will be probably a six part movie as there are six books total). I have been thinking about this for a very long time, some of the actors for the characters.
  
  Eg: IMHO
  
  Raistlin should be acted by Johnny Depp (he has played many dark characters before like the guy in Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorshand)
  
  Fizban : Sir Ian McKellan (no brainer, he's good as Gandalf in LOTR)
  
  Any others? feel free to drop a post

  tom clancy's books r nice! but already 4 have been made into a movie... Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears.
  
  I would like to see made into movies: Cardinal of the Kremlin, Without Remorse, Debt of Honour, Excecutive Orders, The Bear and the Dragon, and last but not least, Rainbow Six!
