I dont see any problems making perelandra into a movie at all. It has plenty of material to make into a feature film. lets break it down into 3 sections, let's say just to make things easy that each section is half an hour long ( a feature film is usually about one and a half hours )

The first half hour includes lewi's walk to ransom's cottage, the conversations in the cottage, the actuall setting off into the sky, lewi's life over the year ransom is gone, oyarsa's call to lewis, lewis and humphrey taking care of ransom at the cottage when he sets down and talking, then they start the rest off by saying just like they said in the book "and so all into the night and the next morning ransom told us the tale which i tell you now"

then the next half hour could be ransom being dropped off into the ocean, his experiences trying to understand this world, the guords,bubble trees, his attempts to make contact with the lady before finally succeeding. Then there is PLENTY of material before the un-man even comes into the story. at that point theres still plenty of the "argumentative battle" (as i like to call it) and then the fight, journey through the cave, and finally the ceremony.

like i said, perelandra could EASILY be made into a full movie, and in my opinion it would be the best and most beautiful movie of all three.

I think all three of the space trilogy books would be good:

Out of the Silent Planet would start out with Ransom's kidnapping, the voyage to Mars, his escape, his encounter with the Hrossa (who are like Ewoks) and the eventual encounter with Weston and Divine.

Perleanda would be harder because, as many have pointed out, it is largely a philosophical movie. It would also be interesting to see what Hollywood might do with the Green Lady's costume--nudity is okay in movies, but prolonged, susitained nudity . . . usually not unless its porn. But the movie could be tweeked, I think, and the focus on Ransom's arrival, his discovery of the green lady, his combat with Weston, all of that might work if done well.

That Hideous Strength
is, to me, the novel that would work the best. It would be a Stephen-King-like horror thriller with The Head, the Conspiracy, sinister characters after innocent Jane, Mark a real jerk then developing into a more committed husband and human being . . . Ransom, the horrific scene at the banquet. Yes . . .

I would encourage script writers to take a shot at it and pitch their scripts to Hollywood.

I thought there was a pending movie based on THS, but either it failed, DG recanted permission, or else it was a prank site. Last time I went there, I got a 404.
