    What novel or event in history would you like turned into a movie? And Why?

    Bookwise; I'd like to see a "The Hobbit" movie. I've ehard rumblings that one may happen, but it was such a great book and I'd love it to become a reality.

    History-wise; I'd like to see the Summit Series of 1972 (Hockey, for those of you who don't know) with the Canadians and Russians. Canada won 3 straight games to win the series. It was a remarkable acheivement, against a very tought team, in russia, in overtime, much more illustrious than that "Miracle on Ice" that the movie promoters are touting as "The greatest sports moment in history". :lol:.

    I want to see a movie based on The Legend of Zelda. That would be absolutely amazing. They could cast Orlando Bloom as Link, seeing as how he did an amazing job as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings. It would be perfect. lol.

    I just noticed Nate's avatar and I just remembered. I'm still hoping for the day that they'll make that Dragonball movie. As long as they're making one, I won't care how long it takes to find the right cast and to do it right.

    The Giver
    Legend Of Zelda
    The Crusades (to show how stupid the war going on now is, because it's essentially the same ####### thing)

    I believe I've heard rumors that there is a movie in production for that. I hope so, that'd be awesome.

    While we're still on the subject of video games to movies, Jet Li's Rise To Honor would make a good movie. At least from what I saw in the commercial. :lol:
