Some say that there are no new good ideas, a supposition done no harm by this top ten chart. SciFiNow lists its favourite book-to-screen sci-fi adaptations.

Much like The Sixth
Sense, Alejandro
Amenabar’s Open
Your Eyes will sucker
you completely, yet
leave you wondering
how you missed the abundant clues
scattered throughout its running time.
Alejandro Amenabar’s original is far
more atmospheric than Cameron
Crowe’s flashy, near-identical remake,
Vanilla Sky, but with a story centred
so completely on its final revelation,
the journey is the same almost by
necessity, and its potential to surprise
remains undiminished.
