I reading some books from Alistair Reynolds and can't help but think stuff like Revelation Space is so visual that it would really translate to film nicely, after a screenwriter shaves half of the redundancy out... from that lengthly book I'm sure a gem could be cut.
Anyway, as for the list I think they totally should have gone over Dune. That movie was originally intended as a trilogy, but they didn't have the money. It had a bloody fine beginning if we ignore some of the music, but then years of history are compressed into a 3 minute montage - surprise, the main character now leads an army and has a wife! Argh. It simply screams "oh shit we better wrap this up"...
Why Neuromancer isn't on the list is another bizarre oddity... it was optioned, several times if I recall right. It was a big deal for people, and Hollywood just sat on it and let its time pass.
