Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, a state that you don't have to worry about being deprived of more books as long as you're near a library. ;) This week's Top Ten is:
Top Ten Movies I'd Like to See Made into Movies
Hoo boy, this one's a hard one, but I'll do my best to narrow it down to just 10.
1. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder - I would love to actually see Yelena become the Commander's food taster and what tasks Valek has laid out for her in order to do so properly. And I'll admit, I want to see just who they would pick to play the remarkable and skilled Valek.
2. Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt - For some reason, this story seems like it would be a great one for the silver screen. There's just something about Death being involved in a fairytale that makes it more interesting.
3. The Princess's Dragon by Susan Trombley - There can never be enough films with dragons, and with my love of this book, I can't help but want to see it as a movie. Most of all, I would want to see Sondra's transformation and then her first meeting with Tolmac. :)
4. Paranormalcy by Kiersten White - Although I haven't read this yet, I get the feeling that it would be a nice mix of drama and comedy all wrapped up in, say it with me now, the paranormal.
5. Acorna by Anne McCaffrey and Margaret Ball - I see this as a great blend of both fantasy and science fiction, and I'd be interested to see how Acorna herself would appear.
6. The Nymph King by Gena Showalter - 1) I love the ocean and I figure what better setting for this novel if turned into a movie, 2) the fighting scenes not only between the nymph warriors but also the dragon warriors that arrive too, and 3) I'd just love to see Valerian and Joachim in the flesh. Besides, can you imagine if this cover was used as the basis for the movie poster?
7. Unicorn Trilogy by Tanith Lee - I cannot choose just one as they all work together so well just as a trilogy should. I want to see Tanaquil's character development and also what sort of landscapes and settings would be used for a futuristic fantasy world that Lee has created.
8. Wolf at the Door by Barbara Corcoran - This was one of my favorite books back in grade school, and I think it really does help make people more aware of the wolf conservation situation. It would be amazing seeing this book in film form just for the setting and the wolves.
9. Chocolate Fever by Robert Kimmel Smith - I just think this would make a hilarious movie. How weird is it to have a disease revolved around chocolate?
10. Escape from Exile by Robert Levy - Another favorite from my childhood, I would want to see this just for the various animals of the realm from Hira, the behemoth horse, to Me, the acid-spitting snake, to the samkits, giant Siamese-ish cats.
