Harry Turtledove's Balance/Worldwar series.
As some people have mentioned before, the Inheritance series, done right! Some real potential in that series... Too bad they blew ot with the first movie <.<
Why would I want people to cut out most of my favorite tv-show or books in order to try and fit the story into a movie? I don't get it...
I don't think this matters nearly as much as you think it does.
It would and wouldn't be hard to do Bean first.
By running Bean first you are downplaying Ender, the center of the entire series. However, with the way Ender's Shadow was written, it could stand as it's own story without even really knowing who Ender is.
I'd rather see Ender's Game done first, however it is unlikely, due to the age of which the "children" are.

Bah, just looked up Ender's Game on IMDB... They already fucked up. Those kids are in their teens... Gonna ruin the whole damn thing.
"There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you." -Mazer Rackham - Ender's Game Orson Scott Card
The Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series. Would have made an infinitely better set of movies than the prequel trilogy.

Some of H.G Wells' books could use good adaptations, particularly Island of Dr. Moreau. All the movies of his novels are either awful or sub par.
An accurate Frankenstein too. The 1994 version was way too rushed and all the characters were in a frenzied panic, even during the calm scenes.
