I haven't. I thought I wasn't really into short stories... Till I discovered Ray Bradbury. Now I am very much into short stories. So will give Asimov a try for sure.
Philip K Dick, too. You'll be amazed at how many movies his short stories and novellas have been adapted into.
Try the short story The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster.
VERY different genre, but if you're digging short stories, i really dig earnest hemmingway's stuff.
Check out Ted Chiang as well -- his two short story collections (Story of Your Life and Others; Exhalation) are some of the best I've ever read. He wrote the story upon which the film Arrival was based. Lots of things about time, consciousness, free will, humanity, all beautifully done.
