Agreed—great movie—but I am a Philip K. Dick fan.
It is great so many of his novels/short stories have been made into movies. There are many more that should be.
Another PKD based movie that I really enjoyed—rewards several viewings—Minority Report.
Minority Report wasn’t half bad, but it didn’t rise to the level of art displayed in Blade Runner. The rest of Hollywood’s takes on Dick’s work were more or less stinkburgers. Total Recall comes to mind.
“Another PKD based movie that I really enjoyed—rewards several viewings—Minority Report.”
The first time I heard death as a side effect among ubiquitous drug commercials, and of course much of our advertising calls us by name now.
Another really good one was “Screamers” which was based on his short “Second Variety”. I think it didn’t do real well box office wise because of the title but as soon as I found out it was a Dick story I watched it!
