Not based on P.K. Dick works but heavily (and beatifully) inspired by them I'd also mention "Dark City" directed by Alex Proyas (The Crow, I Robot)

- jsemrau 4y agoStargate is remarkable rewatchable. Such an amazing premise. Today's stories are so convoluted.
- bigie35 4y agoDark City and The Thirteenth Floor are a few of my top sci-fi movies of all time. Both have themes that echo the Matrix, but done in a much more subtle and thought provoking way IMHO. It's a shame The Thirteenth Floor came out the same year as the Matrix...
- xtracto 4y agoYes yes!! these are two of my favourite all time movies. Kiefer Sutherland acting in Dark City is amazing. Those are two movies I can re-watch several times without getting tired of them.
- toyg 4y agoVerhoeven is textbook boomer: absolutely masterful at his peak, and utterly insufferable in old age.
