Not sure what you're shooting for here but I'll take a shot:
"A Rough Night at the Three Feathers" (Warhammer scenario)
It's got intrigue, mystery, murder and several Hitchcockian twists. It takes place in an inn over the course of a single, event-filled night. I was just reading through it last night so it's fresh on my mind. As I read I was thinking, man, this would be a tough adventure to run and keep all the plots and sub-plots on track, but it sure would make a great movie or play.

The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. Adventurers wander into a town with a haunted house to explore. Classic!

Well, I was thingking that the dungeon crawl modules would make terrible movies (and have made for sad books at that too):
BAD
Temple of Elemental Evil
Keep on the Borderlands
Lost tomb of Martek (or any of that desert series)
GOOD:
Isle of Dread..oh wait, that already is a movie
I can't really think of any D&D scenarios that would make for a good movie..Assassins Knot?

Oddly the first thing to come to mind is Tomb of Horrors. Dunno why, but it just seems that the inclusion of lots of action and mind games mixed with little combat (which tends to be good in small doses in movie land) seems like a good idea.
With a little expansion in the module of things going on, and twist it to be a Mystery/Horror Movie.
But then I thought that "The Cave" was a better D&D movie then the D&D movie

The original Dragonlance Chronicles. Which, of course, is why they are doing exactly that. It's in production and has already been cast with most of the dialog already recorded.

In the case of DragonLance, it's sort of arbitrary to call a dividing line between the module series and the novels.
Drizz't is all about novels. Dragons of Autumn Twilight is essentially DL1 and DL2 in novel form. While subsequent DL novels depart off the modules quite a bit - the first novel is pretty much a blow by blow (Vermi's death notwithstanding).

Tomb of Horrors would be interesting, could work.
Cube, for example.
