I recently rediscovered Ursula K. le Guin's Earthsea books, which were a profound influence on my childhood. I think that they would make a great trilogy, seeing Ged's first folly, the Tombs of Atuan, and even the Dry Land. Seeing the old majestic dragon Orm Embar would be grand.
That being said, though, Earthsea is much more a "grand fantasy" world than the typical D&Dish "high fantasy" mold. There are wondrous and magical things aplenty, but most are not of the flashy variety.
