I'd only possibly agree if you're talking about the Redford version. The Leo movie, meh. It wasn't bad, but not better.

Once someone says Blade Runner, I'll start fuming. But it always happens.

For an answer: American Psycho

Eh, I can appreciate Luhrmann's crazy grandiose scenes... the movie had it's moments, but all the CGI took the film out of its period for me. But it wasn't horrible, it had some good moments. I hated hearing Tobey narrating though.

The moment they walk into the room where Daisy and Jordan are lying around. All that white, all the wind blowing. Shit was beautiful.

PKD's book was god-awful, like all of his writing. He's a concept guy, and a great one at that, but when it comes to actually turning that concept into a story, he's the worst.

Get Shorty, Jackie Brown (Rum Punch), Out of Time

I love Elmore Leonard, but the films based on his novels end up being even better.
