Yes, I do.
Universal bought the rights to Clarke's
Childhood's End... and we got
V.
I wish I could rattle off the number of favorite novels that were made into excellent movies... but I just
can't. I will name:
2001: A Space Odyssey (though, technically, a movie made from a short story, and the resultant novel written in conjunction with the film)
The War of the Worlds (Spielberg-Cruise)
Blade Runner
V for Vendetta
and, if we can include animated features, Akira.
