FOR READERS

Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer James Comer:

Since A Song of Ice and Fire and Dune have been made into movies and tv shows, we can’t help wondering about other SF/F classics.  Now’s your chance.  Name actors, specify the year the movie is made*, even choose the director and producer if you like.  Cast the classics!

Note that this is a question for readers. Writers, avoid mentioning your own works, please. 
If you can.

I’ll start with Samuel R. Delany’s Dhalgren*.
