Blade Runner (1982)
---Nominated by Grand Assault---

Main Genre: Science Fiction, Drama

"Ridley Scott's dystopian masterpiece is easily one of my favourite films of all time. Based on a Philip K. Dick novel, Blade Runner focuses on Harrison Ford in what was, for me, his finest role, the reluctant and vulnerable bounty hunter Rick Deckard. A legendary performance from Rutger Hauer and some of the finest desolate and depressing scenery I've witnessed in cinema later and you have a staple favourite of mine. Thank God it came out on DVD again after all these years!"

Main Genre: Action, Comedy

"It's about bloody samurai, what's not to like? If you only had to watch one samurai film in your life, this is it. It's more than three hours long but unlike The Magnificent Seven, not once was I bored or fervently wishing the movie to end already. And Mag Seven wasn't nearly as long either. This film was also particularly innovative in plot devices, while not the first one to do what it did, it was one of the first and it brought many together, plus it was really well done. And the score is just fabulous."

A visually stunning film that's bound to fascinate young and old viewers alike."

"The whole film is like a stab in the gut; scene after scene of terrifying acts of genocide, racial hatred and sadism that defined The Holocaust. Filmed with art and dignity; it is by no means a gorey 'snuff' film like 'The Passion'. Filmed in black and white throughout and thrown into colour at the end; when hundreds of present day Jews (many of them Oskar Schindler's workers) come to pay their respects to him. Liam Neeson acts superbly throughout; after all his work Schindler feels nothing but guilt at how many more he should have saved."

It tidies up a lot of complex history… Dressed up with 1939 Technicolor, pastel-pretty for the dresses and blazing red for the passions, and a thunderous Max Steiner score, this still has a fair claim to be considered one of the best pictures of Hollywood filmmaking."

Ideal introduction to anyone who wants to get into "old" black & white movies. What's not to like: Romance, suspense, adventure in the Orient, the most quotable dialogue, the finest cast of character actors in the history of cinema, nazis, spies, gamblers, floozies, hustlers, thieves, revolutionaries, corrupt womanizers. Plus Hollywood's all-time leading actor in the defining role of his career."

Vader isn't on a leesh in this film either (Tarkin, Palpatine) so he has full authority to execute plans as he sees fit. He is the most iconic figure of the franchise afterall!"

Not only is this one of the best westerns, it's one of the most accessible and entertaining inroads into the genre, it's got a twangin' rock'n'roll inspired score from Morricone, some great humourous dialogue and unforgettable characters. Yea, my explanation is lame, but you know this belongs up there."

"The sands of time have disgested all memory of the "pioneer" who initially categorized political commentary in literature under "embellishment". Meanwhile, names such as Stanley Kubrick, Peter Sellers and George C. Scott among others stick by like the Strontium-90 isotope. Everything that reaches height in this movie owes itself to severe underdoing. Sometimes an actor accidentally trips in the middle of a shoot. Why not include it in the final product? While that's being done, let's wait until after the movie's production to inform Slim Pickens that it's a satire. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is politics caught on tape."

"An old old film that a lot of younger people may never bother to see because they think its not worth it. But it has a wonderful world, great characters and is a classic film. The songs are memorable and it shows you how the world used to look at things. Dorothy is an innocent naive young girl yet is older than a hell of a lot of todays mothers! It also teaches you what is important in life, brains, heart, courage and having family. There is more to it than the above, but i do presume that this film needs little explanation really.
