Zelazny's 9 Princes in Amber would be great, but good luck getting the rights from the estate. After the abortion that was Damnation Alley, they kinda pulled the plug on that one.
Can't say I'd blame them really. As nice as it would be to see Corwin and company on the screen, it would be a really hard series to translate well to screen. I think the odds would be enormously low that it would be done well.
I could see Lord of Light being done well as a movie though.

They'd have to go the mini-series route, but there is tons of material there to work with. Zelazny was one of the last of his breed. He wrote short, powerful prose. He didn't need 900+ pages per book to build a world.
The difficult part could be incorporating enough back story to understand the twisted family dynamics. frick, I just wanna see Random on screen.

That's a great pick, some of the scenes are almost scripted for a movie.
