Elvis Cole and Joe Pike series. Surprised it hasn't been done yet.

I really don't know about this one. I love the books, and with their success they've genome a bit more compatible with a screen adaptation, but a lot of it, and especially the first one, is a lot of internal monologue. In addition, the space physics and combat are amazing, but don't translate into visuals easily either. Like I said, love the story, and pains me to say it. Some stories are just not made for the screen, and I think this is one.
Biggles!
The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zealazny is ripe for CGI heavy HBO treatment. I think it would be very well received at this day and age.
The Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained) by Peter F. Hamilton would make a great serialized TV drama.
Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Ender's Game as season 1, and then Speaker For the Dead as seasons 2-3 (with a reworked ending rather than drawing from Xenocide).
Angry ghosts
Not a book, but I would love to see a cinematic adaptation of "East of West". The universe is beautifully drawn.
Calculus....early transcendentals.
I think Neuromancer would work well as a heavily stylized animation.
