Bicentennial man was done from the book that was jointly made with Silverberg, AFAIK. So it might be possible to argue it's not from a book of Isaac.
As for "I, Robot", does anyone who knows the book really consider the movie to be based upon the book?
If so, how can you justify that? They took the names from the book and sprinkled it atop a script from someone who probably doesn't even know who Asimov was.
I still wonder if a reprint of the original book with the movie cover (and tagline) should be considered fraud or not.
