    I saw Star Wars when it 1st came out. Had to wait almost a month to get in unless we wanted to stand in a line about 1/2 mile long.

    If I could pick 1 book I would love to see made into a movie, it would be "Glory Road" by Robert Heinlien:

    "E. C. "Scar" Gordon was on the French Riviera recovering from a tour of combat in Southeast Asia , but he hadn't given up his habit of scanning the Personals in the newspaper. One ad in particular leapt out at him:

    "ARE YOU A COWARD? This is not for you. We badly need a brave man. He must be 23 to 25 years old, in perfect health, at least six feet tall, weigh about 190 pounds, fluent English, with some French, proficient in all weapons, some knowledge of engineering and mathematics essential, willing to travel, no family or emotional ties, indomitably courageous and handsome of face and figure. Permanent employment, very high pay, glorious adventure, great danger. You must apply in person, rue Dante, Nice, 2me étage, apt. D."

    How could you not answer an ad like that, especially when it seemed to describe you perfectly? Well, except maybe for the "handsome" part, but that was in the eye of the beholder anyway. So he went to that apartment and was greeted by the most beautiful woman he'd ever met. She seemed to have many names, but agreed he could call her "Star." A pretty appropriate name, as it turned out, for the empress of twenty universes."

    I bought "Glory Road" back in the early '60's, started it and couldn't put it down. It starts ^^^^^^^^ there and gets better every page.

    The problem is that the only person who could make it and do it justice would be Steven Spielberg and I doubt if that's going to happen.

    "Lord of Light" by Roger Zelazny is another 1 I would like to see made, but, again, only Spielberg could do it right.
