I've often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

Post-scarcity communism is fine.

Post scarcity makes labels like communism/capitalism meaningless. They are both systems to deal with the scarcity of resources.

One of the best lines in Bank's work to describe this is from LTW:

"Money is a sign of poverty"

Ie: A society that needs money to apportion scarce resources is always poor as there is never enough to go around.
