Blade Runner this week.  The Fly next week.  As always, follow along on our iCheckMovies list, and be sure to let us know how you’d rank the movies in the comments below.

Blade Runner – June 25, 1982

Director: Ridley Scott

Producer: Michael Deeley

Writers: Hampton Fancher, David Peoples

Actors: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos

Distributor: Warner Bros.

The course of the conversation:

Ah, John Travolta.

The many versions of Blade Runner.

Decker’s not a very compelling character.

Intentional ambiguity or errors that time had tried to erase?

Is Roy the most developed character?

The nuances of the different replicant responses.

Not all themes need to be explored.

Debate about whether Tyrell’s death is effective.

Enhance.  Enhance.  Enhance.

For all the guys wanted it to be, Blade Runner still deserves a place on the list.

Michael now wants to read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Nathaniel understands the love for Bladerunner [sic], but he doesn’t share it.

Michael can’t justify Blade Runner over Pulp Fiction.

Jonathan would love Blade Runner as a class assignment or debate, but not as a movie.

“Have you seen Blade Runner recently?  No?  Never mind.”

We watch The Fly next week.  We do not watch The Fly 2.
