Mr.Penguin

Bladerunner gets my vote. No surprise there, dystopia settings has always been my thing...

A part from the "tears in rain" monologue, have I always liked Gaff's in the end:

"you have done a man's job, sir"

and

"it's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does"

Brilliant... :thumbsup:

Unlike many other movies on the list, Blade Runner is a good movie in a sci fi setting, not just a good sci fi movie (also, it is essentially a noir criminal in sci setting :P).

Director's cut.
That's a good version, though the director (Scott) didn't like it because it wasn't actually done by him.  :lol:

IIRC, the DC still left out most of the evidence that Decker himself was a replicant.  The girl was a replicant in the DC, wasn't she?

I do recall that the DC got rid of the voiceovers.  That was important.

Well, to me it was pretty clear both of them were replicants, even if it was not expressly said so with regard to Decker. Both how he handled fighting replicants, his relationship with his boss and some convos with the girl made me think he is almost certainly one.

But E.T. takes it.

E.T.? :yuk:

That was the first film I walked out of. I was like 6 at the time.

You Euros can't stand anything even remotely related to happiness or positivity, can you?  You're a continent of Oscar the Grouches.

Funny you say that. I found it depressing.

:huh: How he handled fighting replicants was by blasting a hole in them with his blaster.

ET was crap.  ET remains crap.

I wouldn't go that far, but I do think it's quite over-rated.

Wasn't the girl (I assume you mean the Sean Young character) a replicant in all of the versions?

Yes.  In some versions she was going to croak early, in some late.
