I've liked every book I've read by him so far...also enjoyed every movie I've seen so far by him. Since you forgot to add Blade Runner, and I haven't seen all of these, I have to vote for A Scanner Darkly (though The Adjustment Bureau was actually pretty awesome too, I thought, I haven't read the story it's based on yet).

Can't vote since I've never read any of his works, but plan to do so, though I will say A Scanner Darkly is one of my favorite movies.
Minority Report was better than I expected and remember liking Total Recall. So his books must be pretty sick as well. |

Philip K Dick is probably my favorite writer. I've seen Blade Runner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, and Total Recall. Of these, my favorite is definitely Blade Runner for the mood.

^Ubik is my favourite book from PKD, and the film will be directed by Michel Gondry: http://www.slashfilm.com/michel-gondry-adapting-philip-dick-ubik/
P.S.: Sorry for the dirty word...  |

Philip K. Dick is one of my favourite writers. My favourites of his are Ubik and Dr. Bloodmoney (love to see a film adaptation of Dr. Bloodmoney). The movies tend to be very loosely based on his stories. I liked the movie, A Scanner Darkly very much, which gave me a suitable sense of paranoia or claustrophobia (can't describe it that enough since I haven't had my coffee yet), and will get my vote. Blade Runner, though very loosely based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, was a very good film and the one that had the biggest impact on me (especially when it came out I loved it). Beautiful visuals.
I haven't seen a few of these, and there are still many Dick stories I have left to read (ones that local libraries don't carry). By the way, for those who wish to get to know Dick a little better: http://www.philipkdick.com/ |

I have not read any of the books but i have seen both Blade Runner and Minority Report, probably also Total Recall, i think Minority Report is one of Tom Cruises best films, it is marvelous and is very similar to Blade Runner in the way that it is about one guy who have to fight a hole coporation without knowing who the real enemy is.

 just because you think it's a bit overrated doesn't mean it should be excluded from the poll

Not works inspired, but the direct adaptations. But thanks for the suggestion!  We ever need more sci-fi... |

Simple question: what is the best (or your favorite)adaptation from a Philip K. Dick work tho cinema?
First of all, I just want to say that, for me, Blade Runner is a bit (only a bit) overrated, and Impostor is underrated. |
