I second this. JBLAY or TOTTR would make amazing films.

Ya'll are kidding, right?

There is only one story out there that just screams movie. The author's cinematic style, the multi-layered texture of the prose, the whip like pacing, the intricate and intelligent plot, the smart dialogue that already reads like a screenplay, characters that are three dimensional, complex and complicated - so real they practically jump off the page at you - a setting that is urban and rife with depth and possiblities, only one that has received comment after comment after comment that how much like a movie it feels, one of the best fics in the entire fandom and nobody has mentioned it yet?

Unbelievable.

If I had to choose one fanfiction story to be filmed? No question whatsoever...

Ruby I cannot argue with your nomination!

Queen B definitely has the cinematic style.  I think perhaps... with a voiceover.

     Well if i may bend the rules a bit here...i will put up two....first...

   a made for TV mini series from Laramie Saga...there is too much to

   to tell in just a movie....

     My second choice would be Lead Me To Your Door.... and make it

   a full blown X rated version.  Don't skip the sex for  PC  value..

   Keep it real....                                             Janice

Oh I dont know. They could make it 4 hours long like Gone with the Wind lol. And yes, lead me to your door. Especially chapter 8. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
I agree with erics choices as well.

Oh, good choice...

Any chance to see Jack in a slip and eyeliner  ::)

I heart that story, big time  :)

Oh yeah, Mandy!  ;D  ::)

Me too!

It's impossible for me to pick one, Mel!  :D  Like Helen, I'd love to see NA filmed, I just love that time period and her amazing Jack and Ennis AND all her OC's  :) But I'd also LOVE to see dMP/dMR  :) How I ADORE that story and all her OC's too  :)

Well, others have cheated  so I will too:

Roots (271 Horses); Lead Me to Your Door (marakeshsparrow); Mason-Dixon (B73).

It's great o see such a variety of answers, instead of we all like exactly the same thing.

Coincidentally, those are my three favorte fanfics; there are of course fanfics that just wouldn't be movies (Jack dying all by himself (Slow Fade) or Ennis watching TV by himself (Daydream Believer)--but for the most part, as long as there's some action and interaction, I would always pick my favorites.

Somebody New
Lead Me to Your Door
Love Born from Steel
Nobody's Angel
48 Days
If I Asked
Anything by Sienata-but that would be a porn film
is that more than one?

(and about 10 others...)

Canon: would be "Ennis" listed above (dead/Jack and Ennis tries to move on and deal with his loss, I found it to be very true to the rural experience and it stays close to canon Ennis in character).

AU: would be many: Shades of Grey, A Love born from Steel, HI (or TCJ went done), BFF or ALSE (when completed). I can so picture Tainted Evidence as a movie when it is done. I think that Zero to the Bone would be a good movie when completed, too. I guess that I can't pick one, I love so many fics and I feel blessed to have shared so many stories with so many BBM fans and the talented authors we have among us.
