I sure many people will mention his great novels, but I wanted to mention a weird and (somewhat) underrated sci-fi film that he wrote: Saturn 3 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079285/). It apparently had production problems which impacted the final film, but I think it's worth watching for the interesting ideas about building a killer, as in psychopathic, AI. Also the experience of writing it formed the basis of the novel Money.
