Which books failed to be a good book but could potentially work as an enjoyable film?
The Martian gets my vote. Shitty book, enjoyable (but dumb) movie.
I think, although he's not bad or anything, but Philip K Dick's books would be better as films. His books are good but the ideas and events could be more interesting if they were depicted via a visual medium. I know there's plenty adaptations of his work so far (many considered popular classics, especially BladeRunner) but some of his lesser known works should be up for adaptation.
Man in the High Tower is shit as a book and shitter as a TV series though. That's some truly terrible SyFy channel-tier crap.

John Dies at the End was a dumb fun book but deserved to be a much better film.
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time could be a big award winning film that'll make everybody """feel"""
I Am A Cat as a Studio Ghibli film is my dream.
