Dune: all the various Houses, etc. could become races (imagine fighting the Bene Gesserit - religious AND psychic...)
Very cool idea. Religous and Psychic wouldn't work though with a 2000 point start, but with a higher point start could be done.

Mars Attacks... OK, this one is silly, but still...
I actually stared on this one but dropped it. May have to take another look. There is a "little green men" race available, I think on Universal Shipyards that is very close.

Battlefield Earth (decent book, BAD movie)...
Psychlos! Yeah! The book has a whole universe of races that didn't get into the movie. Very workable, and since most of it is in book form only, leaves a lot of room for someone with some creativity and artistic talent.
P.S. Am I the only one who didn't think the movie was that bad? Didn't come close to the book, but to do that you'd need 8 hours of film and half of the annual GNP. If you just view it as it's own piece of work maybe?
How about the Foundation series by Asimov? All are biologically human, but there is enough variety in cultures and demeanors to make for different "races".
