My Favorite Movies -- Blade Runner (1982)


The ultimate cyberpunk movie and quite possibly the best sci-fi movie ever made. My favorite movie-going experience was a double feature of Road Warrior and Blade Runner. Once again, the merits of Blade Runner are well-known.... incredible visual world (non CGI), moody and thought-provoking story, film-noir future vision like no other, set design and cinematography that still dazzle, and finally the wonderful voice-over...yes, I said it, wonderful voice-over. I am a purist at heart and love the original voice-over. Also, a wonderful score by Tangerine Dream.

Favorite moments... The opening flyover, the owls eyes, analyzing the apartment photos, the visit with the eye-maker, the final showdown.
