Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski
This movie will not be a comedy, yet it will throw people to the ground!

The stipulation was "money is not an issue" not "JD Salinger has died, and enough time has passed for his work to become public domain because he will never let anybody touch his work while he still walks this earth."reservoir said:
I think Ender's Game would be a good one, though there are already talks of it being made.
But, my baby, would have to be Dante's Divine Comedy; split into a trilogy.

Barry Green's "The DVX Book" - Seriously, "The DVX Guide" is a great book and I'm sure the movie version would be better than Catwoman.

I'd pay to see DVX:The Movie, wouldn't you?What about Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". That seems like an epic to me, with the 1920's and 1930's style. It could be beautiful.

Foundation Trilogy by Issac Asmimov.
With all the controversy of using my own directorial discretion and driving the faithful readers into a lather by not having the original story absolutely verbatim.

crazyczech - Check out "And God Spoke", it's a mockumentary about making a Bible epic. Some very funny stuff.

"A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula Le Guin. And maybe other 5 books (if I have unlimited sources ) of earthsea cycle. It was once made into the movie (Danny Glover was in it even) but after Ursula Le Guin wrote an article "How the Sci Fi Channel wrecked my books" you can imagine how it looked...
btw. I would also like to see "A Question of Honor. The Kosciuszko Squadron: Forgotten Heroes of World War II" by Lynne Olson and Stanley Cloud. It's a historical book but well written. It's about Polish fighter pilots during the Battle of Britain...
+ LOTR again with a real gollum

Always! Would it be shot with XL2?

Not sure if this counts as a novel, but Harlan Ellison wrote a screenplay based on I, Robot which is brilliant, but was never accepted by the studio. Instead they went with the Will Smith version. 
So, I'd love to make Ellison's version.
If that doesn't count, then William Gibson's Neuromancer would make an excellent film.
