How many philip K dick based movies have you seen?

Blade Runner

That is all.

Haven't read any of the books either. The movies I've seen:

Bladerunner - Of course. I really don't see the greatness of it that some people seem to, though. Certainly a well done sci-fi movie, but not to the level others have made it out to be.

Total Recall - Shlocky special effects, but OK action flick overall. Plus Sharon Stone in her most hotness.

Minority Report - better than the average Tom Cruise movie.

Paycheck - nicely done story & movie.

Next - Dumb-de-dumb-dumb. Nicholas Cage was the tip-off.

The Adjustment Bureau - I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be an enjoyable flick.

Screamers : seen it, I thought it was okay.
Total Recall: seen it, pretty good action flick.
Confessions d'un Barjo: Never heard of it.
Impostor: never seen it.
Minority Report : seen it, it was okay.
Paycheck: Seen it, didn't like it at all. Can't remember why though.
A Scanner Darkly: haven't seen it.
Next: seen it, I thought it was okay, Jessica Biel was pretty good in it.
The Adjustment Bureau: Seen it, thought it was pretty good, but wasn't as sci-fi-ish as I thought it would be.
King of the Elves: Not released yet. 2012 release date.

depressing, but awesome.

Blade Runner - No self respecting sci-fi fan should be without seeing this movie at least once. Not the greatest story ever told, but the immersive atmosphere set the stage for dozens after it.

Total Recall - A Verhoeven sensationalistic take on a fundamentally interesting premise. Violent and rather simplistic portrayal of a potentially mind-bending concept, but all in all not a bad movie.

Minority Report - Great as an action flick and not bad as a thinking man's flick. A better balance than Total Recall on the same points.

Paycheck - Better than I thought it would be, but in no way a cerebral thriller. I just can't get past Ben Affleck. He always plays the same character... Ben Affleck.

A Scanner Darkly - Seemed less focused than the other films. Cell shaded melodrama with less thinking moments than I hoped for.

Hmm... I'm missing a lot of films here. Looks like I have to bone up on my Dick movies.

//sorry... couldn't help it.

I have seen Blade Runner, and finally read the book. The movie is very, very different from the book. If they do a reboot, I hope they follow the book more closely. Though Hauer's lines to Deckerd were great, and one of the best parts of the film. That wasn't in the back.

Is Johnny Pneumonic on of his?

yes.

No. Johnny Mnemonic is William Gibson.

*face palm* true dat. Sorry, got them mixed up.
Gibson himself is pretty good.

I'm surprised Gibson hasn't been tapped for more movies, especially now what with the internet/information age.
