As someone once wrote about Lem's heritage and making it into cinema: Solaris is the only one with enough sexual context to show to the viewer, other works just do not have enough of it.

I'm just rephrasing this from memory. The audience may be different now and possibly can accept less sex (this is supposedly a new trend in cinema).

Errmm...The Cyberiad certainly has plenty of 'sexual' content, but it may be considered too bizarre or disturbing for a mainstream audience, especially the story of the HPLDs.

They tried with the Futurological Congress but for me, the (short) novel was far more amusing.

Yes, I think it's the book with the biggest emphasis on romantic human to human relations.

Maybe there could be an index - how close a story is to Romeo and Juliet? Solaris ranks quite high.
