"Unfilmable" Books?

I thought it would be interesting to discuss what books, if any, you consider to be "unfilmable". Many books have been considered such over the years, but have generally been proven doable in the right hands. Lord of the Rings, as an example, was once regarded as impossible to adapt, but Jackson made a damn fine job of it eventually.

The only one I can think of is Wuthering Heights, due to how it uses it's POV characters and how the long-form nature of the story would make any visual adaption feel disjointed. All the adaptions I've seen have been weird, wrong or dumb for different reasons. I would like to be proved wrong though.
