Movies that were made from the awesome books by Phillip K. Dick aka Horselover Fats.

Yes that's correct, however to be more specific I would say "stories" that Philip K. Dick wrote, that were the basis for later movies. Good call, Intenze!

A Scanner Darkly
Paycheck
Minority Report
Blade Runner

A Scanner Darkly was a novel. I read the book, which was great, and I recommend everyone rent the movie. It was shot live action and then animated from the frames, to give a really trippy effect. Also the movie follows the book very closely, which was nice.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was the novel that was adapted for Blade Runner. I thought Rutger Hauer was amazing in the movie, almost stealing the show from Harrison Ford. The movie also has a fantastic Vangelis soundtrack, FYI.

Paycheck and Minority Report were short stories. Philip K. Dick wrote over 100 short stories, so that's how I know him. Anyone else who has a short attention span like me, should pick up a collection of his short stories! You might start with:
Paycheck And 24 Other Classic Stories By Philip K. Dick.

Another short story I could have listed is the one Total Recall was based on: We Can Remember It For You Wholesale. There was a bit of confusion on the Robert Heinlein thread about this one, because Piers Anthony wrote a book called Total Recall, which was based on the movie. But according to Philip K. Dick's official website, which is apparently run by his heirs: http://www.philipkdick.com/index.html the story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale (1966) was indeed the basis for the 1990 movie Total Recall- not the Piers

Also worth noting: a recent release based on Dick's 1954 short story The Golden Man, is the Nicolas Cage movie "Next". I saw it in the theater a month or two ago, and I'm a big fan of Cage so I hope everyone else will like it as much as I did. If its not in the theaters anymore, hopefully it will be out on DVD soon.

Dick died an untimely death in 1982, at only 53 years old. So that sucks. He was a true visionary.

The briefest of hijacks
Recall the movie was based upon We Can Remember It For You Wholesale (Philip K. Dick).
Recall the book (Piers Anthony) was based upon the script from the movie of the same name.

they are terms used in ceramics? keramikos means made of clay....the first two I knew, but the others I had to look up. I always learn something new in this thread.

Do they all require a special kiln? Gas instead of electric? Special temperatures to fire?

intenze, i agree, we learn so much.
