I am looking for some information on SF books/novellas/short stories which
have been turned into movies. I am only looking at movies made since 1970,
although the source material can be from any time. Yes, this is for use in
an assignment, but only a very small part. (It's a seminar; I just want to
hand out a list of such movies. I already know what I am going to talk
about. Hi to anyone else in FINE352!) Much of the information I already
have is from the book _Primal Screen_.
The list I already have (approximately sorted by date) follows. If you can
fill in any dates, correct any misinformation, or add to the list, please
reply by email. I will repost the revised list later in the week.
