      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 Very Happy

      It will take years for them to make into movies.......

      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!
