What's a story you'd like to see turned into a movie?

Something that hasn't already been done ad nauseam.
Something totally new.
For instance, I'd like to see Robert Lundlum's The Road to Gandolfo done ... spy novel but hillariously funny while suspenseful at the same time. Really colorful characters.
But it can be anything, something original.
Would love to see the A. American Going Home series turned into a series of movies. I get The Road was done and there are a plethora of cheap cheesy post apocalyptic survival flicks out there these days, but Going Home is different. It's what it might actually be like.
Needs to be something entertaining, something that Hollywood cannot screw up with politics.
What are some ideas that simply have not been done? If any?

The three body problem. And the following 2 books of the series
Like amazon is trying to do but in short series form.
If done right, it could be the greatest science fiction story ever out to screen

Almost all of the James Lee Burke novels, but please don't cast Alec Baldwin as Dave Robicheaux.

Bernard Cornwell's Aegincourt.
It's a great novel with knights and archery and based off a real siege..
Fun book.. would be a gruesome movie

Isn't that the one where the female characters are initially named (or nick-named) for the shape of their breasts? Having hard time seeing that one come through, but it was an enjoyable read.

Isn’t there some kind of curse on people that undertake this project? Also I remember Will Ferrell being rumored for it a while back and then the project just died.

Halo, Halo, Halo.
Motherfricking Halo.
Like a real one. With the visuals of Avatar and the grittiness of Apocalypto.
