And how could you possibly forget Harry Potter? HUMPH
The Color Purple
Flight of Eagles
The Eagle has Landed
The Bone Collector
at least one James Patterson book, Kiss All the Girls (?)
I Robot (book great, movie stunk)

And I'm sure I'll think of several more before I go to sleep.

Then there's the movies that have caused books to be written such as the Star Trek and Star Wars series.
