I have two book series, both by the same author, both IDEAL for movie series!
Award winning Author: John DeChancie
Books: Star Rigger, Red Limit Freeway, and Paradox Alley
Would make a FANTASTIC movie trilogy.
Books: Castle Perilous (and all the Castle books that follow...)
A great sci-fi fantasy adventure series that would spawn several movies, and possibly spinoffs!
Just my 2 platinum worth! 
If you are not familiar with the author or his works, I HIGHLY recommend everything he has written. And yeah, he's my favorite author. Period. 
BWAH!

Here's one that I'm betting no one else has read, at least in the USA:
Stewart Farrar's "Omega"
Yes, pagans. That Stewart Farrar. The book is about zombies, witches and politics. It's ratehr good in a World War Z way, and is being re-released in February. I always thought that it would make a good movie.

I'm so lucky that I live by Greensboro NC, Card's home town. He does book signings at a local bookstore and the Ender question always comes up. It has taken a lot of time because he wants it done right. With children Ender's age not famous teens. He is combining it with Bean's story, Ender's Shadow.
Please! Nobody died last time!

THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE by Audrey Niffenegger: Original, romantic, funny, sad, and COMPLETELY confusing... With all the jumping into the past and future and then all the doppleganger Henrys... I don't know how they'd keep the audience from losing their minds! The book is easier to follow because of the strong narration, but an entire movie can't be narrated. That would just be annoying. Unless they got Morgan Freeman to do it.
Just kidding.
The other ones would be Anne Rice's trilogy: THE WITCHING HOUR, LASHER, and TALTOS. I read on her website a year ago that NBC had greenlighted a miniseries for it and they were going to film it on location in New Orleans, but since Katrina... who knows if it will get the go ahead now. We can always hope.

There is a great rule of thumb
that an excellent book makes a lousy movie and vice versa
(examples Great Gatsby, Friends of Eddie Coyle) - yet who can resist...
my two-scents worth:
(choices won't last the time it takes me to light my next cigarette but -)
1. Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer,
a children's book - my favourite book. go find, read, at once!
2. Ticket that exploded / Nova Express - by william Burroughs
3. The Books Of Magic - graphic novels by neil gaiman and worth every penny he should sue jk rowling for.
(oh and tv series of alan moore's promethea)
4. The Jerry Cornellius quartet - by michael moorcok (there was one crappy attempt in the 70s)
- or Gloriana.
5. Poppy Brite's series of Chef novels. Prime, Soul Food etc.
and lastly cf remake/reimagine thread elsewhere - The Stainless Steel Rat books -
at once and pronto.
This site has skewed my thinking here t'ward sci-fi
so a quick shout out to phil dick and gene wolf while we're about it.
some kind of a furnace
