Not since Glen Garry Glen Ross has a monetary drama been so captivating. Overlooking Zach Quinto's distracting eyebrows and how awesome it was to see Jarvis in real life, this was a well-made film... although some of the scenes seem far too slow to constitute realistic pacing.
Blade Runner isn't just the best science fiction film of the 1980s, it's one of the best films of all time. It features one of Harrison Ford's best performances, a storyline and premise that goes against everything the genre had done up until then, beautifully crafted visuals, and (of course) the mind-boggling twist ending that will make you watch it again and again. Forget The Sixth Sense, this movie INVENTED plot twists.
