Ridley Scott - Blade Runner (1982)

[bladerunner] Based off the Phillip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Scott's cinema adaptation focuses more on the notion of retiring replicants than of a society in which prestige is directly influenced by the expense of one's pet. The plot line is tighter, though a wonderfully Kafkaesque bit was lost in the process. The most impressive aspect of the film, however, is the design of the Los Angeles of 2019: corporate ziggurats, billboard zeppelins, Geisha Coke girls.
