There was a fair bit of interest in this, and I have received a lot of
additions, so I thought I would repost it (finally!).  I have verified
most of the information on here, and have filled in numerous dates that
were missing in the last version, from my own research.  If you know any
dates that are incomplete or wrong, please let me know.  Also, if you know
what book (or magazine) any of the short stories originally appeared in,
let me know.  I have also included any awards that I know of that the
book/story/movie has won.

For those of you just tuning in (or those who have forgotten; it was a fair
while ago), I was looking for a list of movies made from books or short
stories since 1970 (the movie, not the source) for a seminar I had to do
for a Film Studies course.

I am expanding the range now, to include any movie, any time.  This will
obviously make the list an awful lot longer, but it should be interesting
to see.  Please give me dates!  The last time around, lots of people sent
me the names of movies and books, but didn't include dates.  This makes
much more work for me, because I have to check all over the place to date
the books (I have a book that lists lots of movies, so those are a little
easier).

Any movie that anyone mentions will be put on the list, but if two people
disagree, I'll take it back off.  There are already two movies with one
strike against them.

The list is divided into two sections.  The first lists SF movies, and the
second lists horror movies.  Following the list or movies is a list of
contributors to the list of movies.

Someone claimed that the Richard Matheson book is _My Name Is Legion_, not
_I Am Legend_, as my text had indicated.  Can anyone else confirm or deny
this?
