Casting for a Discworld movie?

The guy who plays Hiro Nakamora in Heroes. He has the right look about him, that sort of complete idotic innocence.
When I was reading night watch I kept imagining a really good casting for Vimes, but now I can't think of it, that really annoys me.
I suppose the other question is, if you had to choose one book to make into a movie which would it be?
rasufelle:
I suppose Night Watch would have the most mainsteam appeal, but I think that the first books up through Sourcery would still make the BEST movie. Carpe Jugulum or Small Gods would also make good ones.
doki:
i reckon thief of time would be AWESOME as a film
loyalpeon:
Interesting Times all the way - would make an awesome movie.
rasufelle:
Yeah, but Interesting Times would also require a LOT of backstory for some of the jokes to really hit as well as some of the other books. In fact, I guess anything featuring Rincewind would pretty much require the entire series to be made, from 'The Light Fantastic' all the way through 'The Last Continent', to be completely satisfying. Let's face it, 'Eric' may not have been the best book, but you want to read it to really understand just how funny the events surrounding Rincewind are. An early section of dialog from 'Interesting Times' goes something like this:
Archchancellor: What have you done for wizardry, Rincewind?
Rincewind: Well, I think I may have saved the world a couple of times.
Archchancellor: But was any of it particularly wizardly?
Not an exact quote by any stretch, but gets the point across. If you've read the early books, then this is hilarious because every time Rincewind has 'saved the world', it's been from what was essentially a screw-up by the staff of Unseen University to some extent. So...
Wait a minute, why am I rambling about this? Sorry.
Here's my question: who would play Dibbler?
