Movies based on P.K. Dick stories

[stacer]

I know we've talked about this somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look it up. Something made me think about this tonight, and now I want to make a list, because there are so many, and because I've got a book of short stories by P.K. Dick in which I only recognize two stories that have been made into movies, so I'm thinking there must be more, and I'm missing it.

So, the stories in my collection are:

Autofac
Service Call
Captive Market
The Mold of Yancy
The Minority Report
Recall Mechanism
The Unreconstructed M
Explorers We
War Game
If There Were No Benny Cemoli
Novelty Act
Waterspider
What the Dead Men Say
Orpheus with Clay Feet
Stand-By
What'll We Do with Ragland Park?
Oh, to Be a Blobel!

(He's got a lot of great titles, huh?)

So, here's my list:

"The Minority Report" = Minority Report (duh)
"Recall Mechanism" = Total Recall (?) --or is it from "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale"?

And then add to it movies I know of that aren't in this collection or that I can't match up:

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? = Blade Runner
? = Imposter (?--this *was* a P.K. Dick story, right?)
"Paycheck" (?) = Paycheck

Is it just these five? What else is there?

Total Recall  was "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale"

and you're also right about Blade Runner.  Story title is way cooler, but Blade Runner is a better name for an action movie you have to admit.

I'm not sure at all about Paycheck. Impostor was Impostor. (Unless it's spelled "er" -_-)

His name was spelled wrong in the credits for Total Recall (they gave him two Ls. His name is Philip).

I find it interesting that he has lots of short stories made into movies. Electric Sheep is the only novel of his I know of that got the movie treatment. It seems much more common for movies to be based on novels than short stories, though Stephen King has had at least one short story go movie, but his novel to movie conversions far outnumber the short story to movies.

The book for total recall was written by Alan Dean Foster,... but he may have based it on a Dick story...

The book came out to coinside with the movie Jeffe, if you watch the opening sequence of the movie it says "Based on We Can Remember It for You Wholesale by Phillip K. Dick".

Uhm. No. The novelization of hte movie was written by Piers Anthony. click here if you don't believe me. I own a copy of it, because I was an Anthony-junkie at the time (no worries, been try for a well over a decade). But the movie was certainly adapated from the PKD novel. So the Anthony novel is an adaptation of an adaptation.

ya. I read the book back then too. The first edition of it didn't mention the movie on the cover or anything. At least, it wasn't like some movie poster cover like one of the paperback versions of Hunt for Red October.
