This is a good topic if you are interested in it.
At least it isnt "How you doing"?

Sometimes I watch these just for entertainment. It's nice not having to worry about plot, character development, etc. -- just good old fashioned violence.
Think you ment nice car ! !
Charger was just about it. Bladerunner never watched. War of the Worlds was a good book but never seen the movie. Matrix falls into that category. Even though I loved the 2nd one it was nothing like the first one ! It was more or less a super action movie first, made you thknk 2nd. Worst were the Rocky movies. Good lord. First one was one of the greatest movies ever made. The rest were just crap ?
As much as I like certain older movies, sometimes they just get too out of date to enjoy anymore.
Yes, while it is not the greatest movie the book it is based on is challenging and thought provoking. Read the book and you will have a different perspective about the movie. The book is titled Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick. Other books with a similar theme include Brave new World by Aldous Huxley and Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut to name a few. These authors present, in their writings, most of the fundamental ideas for which Sci-Fi entertainment has evolved into today.
I thought Bladerunner was okay,,, if you watch the alternate ending, director's cut, it has a really good twist at the end.
I too, have seen Bladerunner, and felt it was cool as hell when it first came out. It was one of the first titles to come out on that big rainbow record called a Laser Disk as well, I believe.
The film has quite a bit of interesting undertones, and I felt it was very impressive in it's content for the timeframe it was created in. You've got to remember that we have been 'tainted' or 'spoiled' by the skill and sheer grandure of the impact of modern movies, and it sometimes overshadows the huge steps that some of the older flicks were taking back then.
I've 'forced' others to watch Bladerunner recently, and *I* even felt it was lacking when I look at it now days, which pissed me off because I realized it's just because I've gotten accustomed to the next level of movie-making. I still stand firmly to my belief that it was a good movie for it's time. Just like The Andromeda Strain is!

A side note the book on which the movie was based was written in 1968.
