Poll question: Best Film Version of a PKD Story Other Than Blade Runner?
Listed here in no particular order.

Let's also omit A Scanner Darkly, which has generated apologists despite being almost entirely unwatchable. It would have been a fine film, but for the rotoscoping.

Let's also omit Confessions of a Crap Artist, which no more than a dozen people outside of France have ever seen.

2. No. Total Recall was based on a PKD story called "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale."

Total Recall, the movie, sucked a huge one.

Minority Report was much better; actually better than the story, I thought.

3. Minority Report
was decent, despite the presence of that silly Cruise person.
