I suggest Niven, Heinlein, Del Rey, or any of a large number of other authors, past and present, who made American Sci Fi into serious and lasting literature. Worthwhile Sci Fi is incredibly difficult to put onto film-as witness the otherwise-great Speilberg's many failures. The very FEW good Si Fi movies are keepers, but the sundry Star Wars bubble gum flix aren't on the list. The rule of thumb still prevails: If you want good Sci Fi, stay home and READ it. You'll save a bundle of dough in the process...
