In reply to the discussion: Novels not made into movies... [View all]aidbo
(2,328 posts)14. While I wasn't a reader of Phillip K, I've always loved the movie Blade Runner.
I'm somewhat hesitant to read Do Androids Dream.. to avoid messing with my feelings about the film.
I saw the movie in theater when I was way too young, (about six) and it is the first movie I can remember seeing in a theater.
As an adult though, I fell in love with the director's cut.
Also, while I dug A Scanner Darkly, I wasn't a big fan of either Total Recall.

That's an amazing movie, on the surface all popcorn over-the-top sci-fi, underneath sly satire.
