Ten Science Fiction Books That Should Be Movies


  • Foundation by Isaac Asimov
    • Plot Summary: Foundation tells the story of a group of scientists who seek to preserve knowledge as the civilizations around them begin to regress.
    • To date very few of Asimov's stories have been made into movies. The Foundation series is my personal favorite of all his works. Since it's really a collection of short stories, it lends itself quite well to a movie format. Asimov's sparse writing style would be ideal as well.

  • Ringworld

    Larry Niven

    Childhood's End

    Arthur C Clarke

    The Forever War

    Joe Haldeman

    The Mote in God's Eye

    Niven & Pournelle

    A Fire Upon the Deep

    Vernor Vinge

    Night's Dawn Trilogy

    Peter F. Hamilton

    Sundiver

    David Brin

    Stainless Steel Rat

    Harry Harrison

    Player of Games

    Iain M. Banks

    So that's my list. What science fiction books do you want to see made into a movie?
