A Scanner Darkly (2006) an underrated surreal masterpiece. The rotoscope has aged beautifully, cast is next to none. Solid list by the way.

Yep. Just read the book and rewatched this, I think most people will be surprised by the cast of this generally forgotten flick. It's very faithful to the book as well.

Thanks your reply. I whatced this movie and I was very excited to see it but, in the end, was a bit disappointed. I love the book, and I’m fine with adaptations that take the source material and run with it, but I think that for all the hard work put into the adaptation, it didn’t really work.

What did they do in the movie that wasn't in the book? You lose some of Donna's characterization and we don't spend as much time seeing the New Hope but the book events are pretty much all there even if some Barris stuff is out of order compared to the book.
