What’s a tortoise?
Agreed.
Greatest????
....please.
2001: A Space Oddity beats it by a country mile... Flat screens, talking computers, artificial intelligence and special effects that are still relevant to this day. It could have been made yesterday and you wouldn’t be able to tell that it was actually made in 1967/68. Add the monolith... And it’s a masterpiece of film making that will be remembered for generations.
Bade Runner? Well... It was Blade Runner... An interesting concept with good acting and interesting special effects. A very good movie resembling a western more so, than an actual future... But not ‘the best’ science fiction film ever.
I would watch a full Joe Biden speech in its entirety if Sean Young was standing behind him.
I win.
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen with your eyes.
“I like the version with the voiceover by Harrison Ford.”
I could not agree more, it’s my favorite version bar-none. one of my favorite gifts ever received was a Bladerunner Box set, that came in a Voight-Kampff briefcase-looking box.
It has every version of the movie ever made, a booklet, and a couple of novelty items; Harrison Ford’s police car and the origami unicorn made by Edward James Olmos.
Definitely a movie ahead of it’s time as we sit on the cusp of transhumanism.

“that Rutger Hauer’s band of rogue replicants – humanoid worker robots designed to blend in with the flesh and blood population “.
Except they’re not robots they were androids.🤔
It was scary as hell for me as a kid. You never really saw the thing, just some big man shaped thing.
IIRC, James Arness of Gunsmoke played the thing
“Other than the attractive women, just wondering why you’re posting scenes from BR2049”
Is that what that was from?
Never finished watching that, discovered an instinctive dislike of that goosling character.
“Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. More human than human is our motto. Rachel is an experiment, nothing more”
I agree it’s hard to say what is the best of any kind of film.
Lately I’ve been watching a lot of pre-1950 films. Lots of good acting and writing even many of the “B” films out class the dreck being pushed out of Hollowwood today especially from the silent era.
Wrong genre. Plan 9 was intended to be a sci-fi horror, but turned out to be a comedy.
However, R.O.T.O.R. can give it a run for the money in both categories.
Casablanca was a B movie. No one expected it to be what it became. Cleopatra was an A movie. No one expected what it became either.
Never finished watching that, discovered an instinctive dislike of that goosling character.
Yeah he was pretty lame.
