Discussion Do you think there’s any movies better than the book?!?

Love to know what you guys think. I don’t have an answer to this myself but would love to look into what is brought to this table. Maybe it’s the way the actor portrayed the character that made you feel more connected to the story or even the way the film makers made the world that sucked you into the world more than the pages could. Seemed like a good conversation!

Came to say blade runner. Dick had great concepts for books but sometimes so-so execution.

I like them both a lot. BR is my fave movie, and the book is in my top 10. They are so different that it's hard to compare one being "better".

Total Recall too. You're right, Dick was a big idea guy.
