Movies I Would Like to be Made

I'm a sucker for Stephen King's material, and there's already a lot out there. But here's some good ideas I would like to see made into real movies (or at least, tv mini-series):

Richard Bachman's Thinner, and Richard Bachman's Running Man.

These wouldn't just be remakes - they'd be really good remakes! The movies "Thinner" and "The Running Man" are old and outdated...and they don't follow the books well enough. Why? Maybe because the studios were trying to make "Stephen King Movies" instead of "Richard Bachman Movies." R.B. is much darker, and more twisted than S.K. There's a reason he wrote these under a different name - it's like they're written by an entirely different person. The Running Man has needed updating ever since it first came out. Who ever thought Schwarzenegger would be good for the part? Not to mention they changed almost everything else from the book. Thinner was much better the first time around, but I would still like to see a darker version with better special effects.
