Someone once started a thread where the concept was pick a great novel and turn it into a bad movie.

I have made my selection and would like to re-open this topic.

I believe that the best great novel to ruin is making a 4 hour film version of Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks with the Baldwins cast as the different characters throughout the generations.

1. There was this tome called

"The Pet Goat" that is turned into a five year war.

Oh wait, that's already been done.

Steven Seagal as Gandalf
Jean Claude Van Damme as Sarumen
Harvey Fierstein as Strider/Aragorn
Rosie O'Donnell as Arwen
and Vern "mini me" Troyer in multiple roles as Frodo, Sam, Merry & Pippin.
