Top 10 Philip K Dick Adaptations

[@priyashmukherjee]

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the most visionary and influential science fiction writers of all time. His work explored themes of identity, reality, and the nature of consciousness in ways that were both groundbreaking and thought-provoking. Dick's novels and short stories have been adapted into numerous films and television shows, including "Blade Runner," "Total Recall," and "Minority Report." His work has also been praised by critics and academics alike, and he is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of science fiction. Dick's work is particularly notable for its prescient insights into the future. He wrote about themes such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and surveillance long before they became mainstream. His work also explores the complex and often unsettling relationship between humans and technology. In addition to his science fiction work, Dick was also a prolific writer of mystery and crime fiction. He published over 40 novels and over 120 short stories in his lifetime. Dick's work has had a lasting impact on popular culture and continues to be relevant today. His stories explore timeless themes that resonate with readers of all ages. He is a true master of science fiction and his work will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come. Here is a quote from Dick that I find particularly inspiring: "Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what our senses, our experience, our culture, education, and our prejudices tell us. But reality is not always what it seems." This quote speaks to the power of our own minds to shape our reality. It is a reminder that we should always be critical of what we perceive and be open to the possibility that there is more to the world than meets the eye. Thank you, Philip K. Dick, for your visionary work. Your stories continue to inspire and challenge us to this day. *LOVE FROM INDIA*

It's pretty clear that the people who made this list haven't READ any of PKD's works. "A Scanner Darkly" is hands-down the best adaption of any Dick story, and is maybe the most faithful film version of a novel in any genre that I've ever seen. Linklater's film perfectly conveys the disorientation and sheer weirdness of PKD's world, and follows the novel exactly.

[@mattcunningham9235]

Uh actually no it doesnt. It follows the story pretty well but it turned the novels paranoia into a stoner movie. Its really not all that great. Linklater tried to make a stoner movie. Nice try tho.

[@mattcunningham9235]

Its not about being faithful to the story but being a good movie in itself. The best pkd movies are minority report and blade runner. Easy. Most entertaining. Its impossible to be completely faithful for a novel

[@rustledmyjimmiess]

@@mattcunningham9235 Actually the film gets the paranoia spot on in my eyes, as someone who has read the novel twice and as a former addict.

[@mattcunningham9235]

@@rustledmyjimmiess it does but the story in the book isnt some stoner tale like the movie is.

[@rustledmyjimmiess]

@@mattcunningham9235 I don't consider it a stoner tale at all, Substance D bears no resemblance to weed at all, did you actually watch until the end? It has some comedic elements but they are intentionally very surreal in nature, something that is funny to watch but clearly not to experience.

[@Gettinsketchyonbourbon]

'The Truman Show' was an adaptation of 'Time out of Joint'... That was an impact that would lead to reality television becoming a thing.

used be able to find his books in flea markets....nearly all snapped up now.

[@Krustenkaese92]

I feel like a biopic about Dicks life would be so interesting. The guy was a drug addict, who had such an incredibly visionary mind and the fact that he was never a successful writer, until after his death, would make for a great movie.

[@theaccursedj.e.2723]

Don't forget schizophrenia. :)

[@jackspratnot1972]

I don't know what you categorize success as, but he has extremely successful. 44 published novels, approximately 121 short stories, 3 Hugo awards, 5 nebula awards and various other awards all before his death. Yes he wasn't a millionaire but if that's what you say is success.

[@milascave2]

the: no, psychosis. IMHO he had amphetamine psychosis from all the speed pills he did. He took speed to write more, and it worked, and also made him crazy, which affected what he wrote as well as how much. All the signs were there, the paranoia, persecution complex, delusions, manic grandiosity. And that is what showed up in his writing, which he was able to channel in a way that most mentally unstable people can not.

Sort of. ExistenZ is kind like Ubik.

[@noraozer2800]

Michael Gordon was going to adapt it but said that it was too hard

[@NKA23]

That would be extremely hard to adapt.

It has inspired some movies indeed, e.g. Abre los ojos/Vanilla Sky.

[@thesociophobe8425]

Probably my favourite but it would have to be a series, way too much for a movie.

[@JoshuaCodes]

Philip K Dick is a genius, just look at all the amazing stories he created.

[@ashleybanks-wm4cg]

Phillip K dick is the SciFi GOD nobody even comes close He didn't have to go to space to take us to the future

[@kholt1776]

Ya'll did PKD a disservice by never even showing a picture of him

[@scottleft3672]

maybee mystery was his secret.

[@scwottful]

The only one that captures the cold paranoid fucked upness of the characters and the society from his books is A scanner darkly. The rest just borrowed the basic premise of the book they were supposedly adapting and changed it into something totally different. I'm betting most of these movies would have drove him to stop writing but also sure he would have been glad of the money, given that he spent most of his life in poverty, even resorting to eating dog food at times. This is how society seems to treat the best of us. Whilst all the fuckers with nothing to offer seem to get everything they want.... Yes I'm a bitter old man!

[@onethingafteranother]

I’d only disagree slightly as I think that man in the high castle was done pretty well

[@NKA23]

You´re right when it comes to artists. Many of the best artists died in poverty and were only discovered by broad audiences after their deaths. PKD, Vincent van Gogh, H.P.Lovecraft to name only a few...

[@peterobinson3678]

He wrote too many short stories... :) The 3 Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch needs doing, tho...

[@milascave2]

pete; he wrote a lot of novels, too.

[@milascave2]

scw: PKD was a friend of my family, my parents knew him well. Yes, he spent time in poverty. In truth, much of his writing was done just to pay the bills. He had, um, issues, He had serious drug problems. He had a tendency to meet women, fall in love, marry them if they were willing, then get sick of them. Some were pretty crazy. He himself was generally quite crazy. He took a lot of speed. He was paranoid. He really did start to think that an alien intelligence was talking to him. When was robbed by some junkies he let stay with him, he thought Nixon was behind it. His politics leaned left, he hated Nixon, though his views of women were pretty negative. All that said, he was a genius, and while his writing was not especially good, the ideas it contained were great and lived long after he did, and no doubt will keep doing so for a long time. His final wife and his children did ok, financially speaking.

[@thanksfernuthin]

Rutger Hauer is magnificent. When I found out he came up with the "Tears in the Rain" line my admiration of him jumped a hundred fold.

[@88feji]

No, he did not come up with the full speech though, he trimmed the speech down to a few lines and added the "tears in rain" part ... yeah he's amazing, what a magical moment, its prime candidate for the most beautiful movie scene ever shot ...

[@allibababoo]

Amazon also made "electric dreams" which is several if his lesser known short stories using fantastic actors and although every episode isn't a home run, several and very close!

[@ashleybanks-wm4cg]

I can't stop watching each story has an effect on me every time I rewatch beautifully made series

[@aweirdwombat]

If A Scanner Darkly isn't number one, this list is wrong. You may like other adaptations more but that is the best adaptation. It's also one of the most faithful book to film adaptions of all time.

[@bradleylintmore3492]

I read the book after watching the movie, it felt kind of pointless. Linklater basically copied the script!

[@Braulios_Penesecou]

you're so damn right

[@andrewweaving3574]

In the film positive it missis out couple of parts which should've stayed in like few pages in where he's believing the rosicrucians are sending telepathic messages-that am sure pk dick would have wanted remained as gives further depth from the word go-still love the film though good choice of actors

[@Braulios_Penesecou]

the rosicrucian/telepatic messages stuff is quite irrelevant not in pk dicks life but in this novel. Becomes prominent in "VALIS/radio free albemuth".

[@andrewweaving3574]

Braulio Panseco yes indeed regarding valis etc-though he wrote it for a reason In a scanner darkly if only once -was replying to remarks about how some thought book and film were word for word-personally thought it should have been left in maybe others feel the same as it's In the story to begin with - excuse if reply seems short just off to bed-valis is favourite of his books still love scanner darkly film with or without rosicrucians cheers man

[@quiquaequod322]

BLADE RUNNER is a far superior movie, but A SCANNER DARKLY best captures PKDick's style and themes. The best balance between giving a viewer the PKD experience, and just being a good movie, is MINORITY REPORT. TOTAL RECALL? Meh.

But the book of the blade runner is farrrr better than the movie.

[@smudgepost]

My personal view is that 'Imposter' is greatly underappreciated. It's a solid movie with grit and a deep philosophy about identity.

[@KILO993]

The newer mini series "Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams " Should be updated to this list if anyone is looking for more PKD :)

[@elder-woodsilverstein7716]

The movie a scanner Darkly is underrated and needs more attention.

[@alexanderjosephross]

10 Paycheck 9 Imposter 8 Screamers 7 The Man In The High Castle 6 Next 5 The Adjustment Bureau 4 A Scanner Darkly 3 Total Recall 2 Minority Report Honorable Mentions: Barjo Radio Free Albemuth 1 Blade Runner

[@justinratcliffe947]

Despite all its negative reviews I actually loved Impostor. I know it could've been better but I consider it a great story and had a terrifyingly original premise. One of Dick's best stories in my opinion. I proudly own the movie on dvd.

[@hayorge27]

Saw it in theater, I agree 100%

[@voidandnon-2530]

Can't believe Next made the list. One of PKD's best short stories totally shat on. Nothing like the story at all.

[@IRahkuBz]

Blade Runner is my favorite movie of all time! love it so much

[@dustcircle]

"The Adjustment Bureau" has such a heart-strings story. Love it.

[@hanniffydinn6019]

PKD is the no.1 mindfuck sci fi writer ! Love his work.

[@dovegrey1]

Watched the first season of The Man In The High Castle....EXCELLENT. Need to get up to speed. Good list.

[@albertduluoz]

First season was OK, but I found the second one a bit dull. Did you check Electric Dreams? It's also amazon's, each chapter adapts one of his stories. Some of them are no big deals, but others are very good (I guess it's out to catch Black Mirror's fandom)

[@fugitivephilo]

Man In The High Castle is #7? Are you kidding...? Quite possibly one of the truly darker and faithful adaptations, brilliantly executed, and it brings the scifi surrealism in its final seasons. Top 3.

[@nox5870]

A Scanner Darkly really Underrated!!!

[@Nebuchadnezzar31]

Blade Runner is number one in my books. Number 2 is Scanner Darkly is one of my all time favourite movies. Schwarzenegger Total Recall is 3rd. The remake with Colin Farrel was bullshit. The rest of these adaptations are mediocre at best. There really aren't enough PKD adaptations that are good to justify a top ten list. Paycheck and Next are forgettable rubbish. My favorite Philip K. Dick novel is "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch". It would make an amazing movie.

[@jim_t2928]

It's my all time favorite sci fi novel. Just mind blowing. I think inception is kind of like 3 Stigmata.

[@Nebuchadnezzar31]

+Jim Tao agreed :)

[@Nebuchadnezzar31]

+Alexander Lovmand I have never liked Colin Farrell as an actor. And SF remakes are awful. RoboCop was the same as TR. Watered down, PG tosh with none of Paul Verhovens visual flair or grit and gore. The recent Total Recall may be more faithful to PKD novel, but as a film it's bland and forgettable.

[@marcocoelho4258]

I hope to live enough to see one day "Flow my tears, said the policeman" turned into a movie on the big screen. Because I believe it would make a great movie, especially in this age and day where reality TV shows run amok in the channels.

[@Nebuchadnezzar31]

+Marco Túlio Todeschini Coelho agreed, that would be awesome

[@chaosordeal294]

Blade Runner is a staggeringly fantastic-looking movie -- one of the best ever, with some sweet nods to the novel, but for true-to-Dick adaptations in plot elements and in spirit, Scanner Darkly is the best.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

A Scanner Darkly was perfect!

To be fair there's something beyond the lines in the books of Philip K. Dick as usually the best adaptations of his works are those which take a few central themes, characters or plot turns from the movies, as "Total Recall" and "Blade Runner" deed. "Screamers" was one of the most direct of the popular ones and the main problem of the movie is that it can't decide whether it's serious or a b-movie. Still a great list, with every film in it worth the watch. Especially in cinema - I've been to a local retrospective of Dick's adaptations in Donetsk and seen "Blade Runner", "Total Recall", "The Adjustment Bureau", "Screamers" and "A Scanner Darkly" and all of them look great on big screen.

[@fineanwilliams3731]

Blade Runner completely abandoned the novel and most of the rest just suck. A Scanner Darkly is the only adaptation that stayed true and was really good.

[@88feji]

But the author PKD himself utterly loved Ridley Scott's Blade Runner when he saw a rough cut of the movie before he died ... there are a wealth of interviews, the author's own writings and witness accounts of how blown away PKD was with both the script and the movie itself ...

"Different experiences"? Thats an understatement. Literally the only thing they have in common is that the main character's name is deckard and the number of targets is 6. The movie, while good in its own right, is missing everything that made the book so great. The fake police station, mercerism, mood organs, the electric frog....reading the book for the first time just before watching the film for the first time will ruin the experience of enjoying the film like eating asuna's sandwich after she makes that perfectly-ultimate S-class dish with maxed out cooking. The movie is good, but the book is so exponentially great, that it makes the movie feel like a shitty follow-up of an experience
