The Hobbit. Most definitely. Though, the Silmarilion would definitely be interesting to see...

Lost Tales would be good too. Ok, here's a solution: how 'bout they just make ALL Tolkien books into movies!! yeah, not going to happen. But we can wish, can't we?

Mad idea, elronds_daughter, making all the Tolkien books into movies. You know how much fuss we fan made about the movies made now.

I've heard rumors that he is going to make The Hobbit, so other than that:

I think it'd be cool if PJ would do one of the Silmarillion stories that can stand alone. The Lay of Luthien, Of Turin Tumambar, and Hin i Hurin (or however they're spelt). If he tried to do all of Silmarillion, that'd be even more of a headache to make a screenplay than LotR.

I'd love to see The Hobbit done as a film, just because that's always been a favourite book of mine. But I'd also like to see the Tale of the Children of Hurin done. *nod nod* Could be very lofty if done correctly.

Aw, come on... no one wants to see Farmer Giles of Ham on the silver screen?

How about Leaf by Niggle as one of those random animated children's videos? How intriguing that would be.
