Subject: SF Books that have become movies

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.
