    I still haven`t seen this, I was going to see it but the theatre`s roof caved in. According to:
    http://www.figmentfly.com/bb/q12.html
    THe sequel Buckaroo Banzai against the world crime league was never made. So you just have the original. This site has a lot of info on it!!!!!!!!!!

    Nephilim what did you think of Ikiru? Should it be in the top 100?

    2001 was definitely great - but Blade Runner was by far the most outstanding SciFi movie ever, as well as being in the top 10 for any movie class ever. It even feels current if it doesn't look totally current.

    Ray Bradbury said SciFi is the only genre that can take anything from anywhere and say anything without restriction. I love it...

    why does everyon love blade runner? i thought it was OK- but everyone acts like its a piece of cinema art. Am i missing something here? I seriously think i missed some kind of inner plot in the movie, or that everyone else thinks there is one. i thought it was a rental worthy film noir scifi- but not a clssic. what did i miss.

    DaOst, the top 250 are at the most comprehensive movie database on line here:

    http://imdb.com/top_250_films

    pcshateme, some folks just don't get the mystique of and insinuations made in Blade Runner.

    I think the movie hit me at a right time, right place kind of way. I enjoyed it the best this way: saw the movie, read the book, saw the movie. It can really add some depth to all the subtlety that Blade Runner has...besides, the book has a parallel but slightly different story to tell. Hey, whatever floats your boat though, right?

    As far as I know it was always alluded to but never really confirmed one way or another. I never saw the documentary either. That's part of the allure of Blade Runner - it keeps you guessing after watching it :)

    I'm of the opinion that he was, all the pics on his piano, his unusual compassion for Rachael and the fact that he was so good at spotting (other) replicants - takes one to know one, eh?


    Anyone ever watch "Man Bites Dog"? That was a pretty wild flick.

    I've often wondered if Bladerunner would have been so good if Vangellis had not done the score,I mean its the music along with the sfx that makes it so moody.

    i think its a combination of that and the rainy dreary weather.

    2001 I didn`t think was that great. Stanley Kubrick has done a lot better with Shinning, Full Metal Jacket and clockwork orange. 2001 was pretty boring and I didn`t think it really sold the point.

    For Blade runner, that was an amazing film. But only if your talking Directors cut. The voice over was very annoying. There should definetly be less voice overs!

    DaOst, Great escape was great film. I like Steve Mcqueen jumping the fence. But if you watch the comments on the film, he was quite irritating to work with. For T2, I agree the SE version is good. I bought it recently on the Extreme Edition. this isn`t bad. Very similar to the Ultimate Edition, but since thats out of print I had to get the Extreme one. The Extreme DVD version is garbage, you miss out on some special features and it doesn`t have the Directors commentary.

    I liked Aliens, 2010 (not a typo, the sequal to 2001). The Thing with Kurt Russle (the movie, not Goldie Hawn). And all 3 Evil Dead movies

    Honorable mentions go to: LOTR:ROTK, Event Horizon and the matrix trilogy (you might not all agree with that last one, but i like sci-fi)

    As for Comedy: Bruce Almighty, Spaceballs, and the greatest of all time: Ferris Bueller's day off.
