"eXistenZ" is the only good PKD movie I know about, although it is not directly based on one specific book.

Also you've got to read all the short stories. They are better than the novels in my opinion.

From imdb: The truman show 8.0 Minority report 7.7 Blade runner 8.3 Total recall 7.4

And scanner darkly (7.7) - still eXistenZ is the one that really stands out for me. But I admit that there are other "good" movies out there that use PKD as a basis.

Scanner Darkly comes closest to capturing the spirit of PKD's written work.

eXistenZ was written by David Cronenberg, not adapted from a PKD book/story.

True, but it has many subtle and less subtle references to PKD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Days_of_Perky_Pat
