movie Blade Runner

You usually can't go wrong with Phillip k dick. A scanner Darkly is a trip- especially Native houstonian Richard linklaters triply animated film. total recall is another classic but the remake was just awful - except for some decent visuals and Kate Backinsale - who doing a meet and greet at comicpalooza this year Originally Posted by cr76

Not only that - but the material is handled so much better. The new one has too much set up and everything is based around a gravity elevator.

I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is arguably a masterpiece and the best film in cinema history! It's way ahead of its time.

Not Sci-Fi but speaking of films- Apocalypse Now, to me, is another war film masterpiece and arguably the best film about the war in Vietnam.

Blade Runner- Great film, music, visuals, one of my faves. They are remaking this one too. Film release dates TBD.

If your into anime check out "Ghost In The Shell", released in 1995.

Platoon is the best film about the Vietnam War because it puts the audience right in the front lines and didn't portray the soldiers, enemy or not, as good or bad. War is hell. I have a soft spot for AN because it's visually stunning and hypnotic. But it's more about the heart of darkness in man than it was about the war itself which acted as a background for the subject material.

Blade Runner is probably the best cult movie of all times because it combined film noir with modern science fiction with romance, so it bridged in the gap between old formula and new genre and added a the third element, the love story, to humanize it and to bring it all together.

I don't do anime. I prefer a dynamic and more complex organism like film.

"They're just questions, Leon". Where do they find actors like Leon ?

The soundtrack had a great mix of electronic music and the throwback song about returning to the stars.

The soundtrack brought meaning to the moving images, combination of old themes in modern, futuristic settings.
