Sorry.  My "reply" function doesn't work very well,
I'm too lazy to track down the path, and this might
be of general interest anyway.  Resiliant excrement. :=)

The one that has been into a movie was, an has been
mentioned already, DAMNATION ALLEY.  The leads in
this one COULD have done find job if it had been
left alone, but they had to take the "hero" of
the novel (the last remaining Hell's Angel, for
God's sake!) and turn him into a...never mind.  I
can't talk about it.

The one that might become a movie is LORD OF LIGHT.
There is a strange and wonderful tale about why
it hasn't been made yet (involving such things
as First Amusement Park Rights), but it is now
being worked on by some serious people, and
might actually happen.

I have some ideas on how it SHOULD be done
myself, but there is no way anyone could
afford to do these things, and no way I
could convince anyone to in any case.  But it
might, really, be happening.  We'll just have
to wait and see.
