If you could adapt any sci-fi book into a show or movie (guaranteed not to have any modern day garbage) what would you pick?

First ones off the top of my head would be UBIK by Phillip K Dick or either Stranger in a Strange Land or JOB by Heinlein.

Plenty of people saying Starship Troopers, so I'll go with a different answer: I wouldn't mind a Gateway film. I don't know if it could adequately work as a film, but I wouldn't hate it. That said, even trying to avoid modern day garbage would be difficult considering Pohl was an unashamed capitalism bashing leftist back then too. Still, I think it could be an interesting adaptation.
