With the release of The Hobbit right around the corner, fantasy fans everywhere are sure to be getting excited as Peter Jackson takes us back to Middle Earth. The fantastical world created by Tolkien provides some great material that can be portrayed beautifully on-screen, especially with today’s technology. With that being said, today we are going to look at some other great fantasy novels that deserve their own movie.
@Munky_Mafoo:
ummm WoT only focuses on 2 main characters?? Rand and....who? There are about 6-8 main characters that all get the same amount of mention. Also, love story?? LOL. That is incredibly false. There is almost zero love interest in the book. What series were you reading? Cuz it wasn't Wheel of Time with that description
I heard when I was a kid that Steven Spielberg had bought the rights which was a match made in heaven to me, but I dont know how true that was and nothing ever came of it.
Shame. Great story.
I really friggin love The Hunger Games, but it doesn't need to be the same scenario. I also like Resistance (translates well to books)
Kinda looking for something fantasy/sci fi. Like despair, then they get through it somehow.

If you haven't had a chance to read them, just start at the beginning and work your way down.
Also suggest the 'Humanx Commonwealth' series... 'midworld' was a novel that just drew me into the series.

Highly recommended to those who love heroic stuff.
Another vote also for Wheel of time series or Riftwar as I grew up on these series.
..and probably Forgotten Realms movie.. either Drizzt or Elminster related would be cool.
