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

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.

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*

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Scanner Darkly may not be the best movie among these, but its the best Dick adaptation, cos it was really close to the original while also been beautifully crafted.

Was Dark City considered an adaptation of the Adjustment Team or a ripoff? I saw it back in the theaters but couldn't remember anything being said about the story and it sounds a lot like The Adjustment Bureau.

One movie nobody never mention, is Ghost in the shell and the anime GITS SAC. A Cyborg who question herself about her own humanity. I think many movie, japanimation and probably video game have been inspired by PKD works.

kelsa: Radio was based on Valis, but valis was not based on a short story. It was probably the most personal book PKD ever wrote. My mom, who was once close friends with PKD, called it "My nervouse breakdown as written about by a genius."

"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
