Many of John Grisham's books have not been adapted to movies yet, and I'd like to see them as movies:

The Broker
The King of Torts
The Brethren
The Testament
The Street Lawyer
The Partner

These are all good ...

I agree, there are a lot of John Grisham books that should be adapted into movies.

Runaway Jury was his correct? Either way, that was a good movie, and was very close with the book I hear (Never read the book, but saw the flick).

Yes, and actually there were number of differences. The movie was about guns, but the book was about tobaccos, for example. But the movie was quite enjoyable.

Dan Brown's Angels and Demons would make a great movie. In my opinion it is better than Da Vinci Code

Wow someone who was thinking on the same page as me. I loved angels & Demons and i think it would blow the overrated divinci code out of the box-office water.

Being better doesn't make it more popular, besides there are some great actors in the code and a huge advertising budget.

Thats the problem with movies today, just because they have got a huge advertising budget doesnt mean that its nessecerially better than something without a bigger budget.

I haven't read it. I've listened to it (audio book). I didn't like it. Maybe I should have read it instead.

A Simple Plan. It was already made into a movie, but I'd like to see it remade more faithfully to the book. The book was a downer and just kept getting the "hero" into deeper and deeper water.
