Films:
Blade Runner... based on the story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Total Recall... based on the story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale
Minority Report... though does deviate from the book in a few places.
Screamers... based on the story Second Variety
Impostor... written in '53, adapted to movie twice, in '62 and again in 2002(with Gary Sinise). One of my favourite short stories, probably because it was the first PKD story I read, tho from memory was only about 3 or 4 pages long. |
And do not forget Next - adapted from 1954 short story "The Golden Man" a great movie starring Nicolas Cage....
