    Keep in mind this movie was first released in 1982. If you hadn't seen it until recently, then you'd have already seen every original idea in it spun-off in heaps of movies and series.

    Blade Runner is art! Not a shoot 'em up action spectacular, which is how Orion Pictures tried to sell the film on its 1982 release, no wonder it flopped at the time....

    Event Horizon is probably my favourite.
    Is Cube the one where all the people are trapped inside this big cube and they all have a specific skill that when they work together they can get out? Like there was a cop and an autistic(sp) guy and an escape artist and so on. If that is the film then yeah I really like that too, wouldnt mind seeing it again.
    I have to say I didnt like Bladerunner at all, twas a bit boring IMO.

    2001
    Bladerunner
    Alien
    The Cube
    Akira
    Aliens
    Dune
    Mad Max
    Forbidden Planet
    The day the earth stood still
    Invasion of the bodysnatchers (Donald Sutherland version)
    War of the World (1950's clasic)
    The Fly (1950's ver.)
    Total Recall (as it's a very good movie of a philip K. dick short story)
    The Last Startfighter (clasic 80's :)

    saying blade runner is like any movie is that’s like when a girl I know said that she did not see what the big deal was with Casablanca as it was so corny as it had all been done before. They are the originals.

    preditor 1
    Aliien 2
    T2
    Cube
    Hellraiser (more horror but still sci-fi)
    Pitch black
    Star wars?
    Mad max trilogy (the second one was the best IMO)
    im not sure if this counts (its an interactive movie) but Wingcommander. Not the actually movie but the 4 CD pack.
    Blade Runner. All of 'em. end sequence of directors cut is a classic.
