Scanner Darkly is much closer to the real PKD vibe, Frank.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I said this at the time, but I think S1 of Galactica is the best adaptation of Dick that isn't actually based on something he wrote. It's got buckets of paranoia and identity issues, people who are killer robots and don't know it, evil imaginary women, and messages from God.

I agree with both Strega and David.

Hey. New board.
So Xanadu isn't very good. Just in case anybody was wondering.
(I mean the movie, here, naturally. Not the Broadway musical, which is utterly brilliant and should be seen by anybody who is near New York and likes having fun.)
See: Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
I was going to say "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Man, I really like this movie unreasonably, but I know that there are reasons for it, mostly including 1) Gene Kelly being awesome, 2) rollerskating, and 3) I loved this movie when I was a kid and even though I hadn't seen it in a good ten years I still knew all the words to the songs.
But... yeah. It's not very good.
