10 Best Sci-Fi Books That Still Deserve a Movie (CBR.com)

"Science fiction has always been an interesting part of the literature world. One of the more important developments in the history of science fiction was its place in the pulp novels of the early 20th century. This brought sci-fi to the common person, making the genre more popular and ushering in a number of voices to sci-fi that would change it forever. This growth in popularity would see sci-fi move into visual mediums like television and movies, capturing imaginations in entirely new ways. Film sci-fi is often original, with stories that were made specifically for the screen, but there have also been many, many sci-fi adaptations. Many classic novels have been made into sci-fi movies, even previously thought unfilmable ones like Dune, but there are still many great sci-fi novels out there that have never made the leap to the silver screen. These books would make for excellent movies, or in some cases, series of movies." - cbr.com
