If Anime is being hailed, how about "Ghost in the Shell"... as close to Will Gibson as I've seen, now there's true cyberpunk and he quotes Bladerunner as a massive influence!

I agree with those who included "Blade Runner - Tears in the Rain" and "2001 - HAL" as favorites. I am also a big fan of the X-Files and one of my absolute favorite episodes is titled "The Post-Modern Prometheus". Curiously, the plot of this episode may have some parallels to Scott's Prometheus. Read the plot summary [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Post-Modern_Prometheus]here.[/url]

From the classic era, I pick "Forbidden Planet" "monster from the Id" attack on the ship....and the best movie robot, [i]ever[/i]. Another pick for the sequence ending in Roy's brief monologue on the roof in "Bladerunner" after redeeming his humanity. Except for the bizarre discontinuity of that cut to the dove, that scene is [i]perfect[/i]. Pretty much all of "2001." still, the most brilliantly conceived and executed [i]Science[/i] Fiction film ever made......and by far, the most influential.

1) "2001" Often called the most famous transition in film history: Primitive man's first weapon is hurled into the air; a bone that turns into an orbital weapons platform depicting the passage of time. This sequence serves as a poweful metaphor for Man's brief existence in the Universe. Unmatched concepetual brilliance. 2) "Star Wars" The Millenium Falcon's first jump to lightspeed: never gets old. 3)"Fifth Element" Leeloo breaks out after being reconstituted and lands in the taxi of Korben Dallas. What Leeloo sees is what we the audience sees, our first sights of the 23rd century, funky taxicab music, McDonalds and all. Saw all of these in their original theatrical run.
