One of my favorite films of all time, and in my opinion one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. Star Wars has it's fans, and it's imitators, but Blade Runner had just as many, and single handedly established the look and feel of "cyberpunk".

Ridley's flick is deeply textured both from a design and a narrative standpoint, and packs more fine detail per second than just about any other film i've seen. It's lightning in a bottle.

I still remember seeing Blade Runner for the first time when I was about 10. I hated it. It was, to be frank, boring.

Thankfully time has a way of changing a man, and subsequent viewings have seen the film rise massively in my estimation, making me realize just how little I knew back then. The Final Cut Blu-Ray is amongst the most watched in my collection.

I can take or leave Star Wars, but am glad to see The Matrix is in the top ten (particularly after the sequels soured the franchise for many), and Inception.

Where's Metropolis (1927) or Akira or Dark City or Gattaca or Close Encounters Of the Third Kind etc.?

You have a point about Metropolis and Gattaca. Especially the former.

I'm in the vast minority on Blade Runner, but I was bored both times I watched it. That being said, like PPrichard, I was young when I watched it the first time and not that much older the second. I have the blu on my "must watch sometime" list.

As for the rest of the list, I guess it's hard to argue more of it, but Avatar shouldn't be near the top 10.
