And I would like to nominate one other Niven/Pournelle novel: The Mote in God's Eye. That novel is one of the best science fiction novels I have ever read in my life, and I have read a lot of them.

Also, I would love to see Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels made into a movie. Not just one movie, that wouldn't do it justice, but a series of movies, like the Lisbeth Salander movies or the Lord of the Rings movies.

But, ONLY if they don't take too many liberties with the original novels. When they start taking liberties with the original, they ruin them.
