its one of those films that was like star trek,wasnt very popular when it first came out but developed a huge cult following years later.

Blade Runner did alright, but it was a "disaappointment" to the producers.

However, they released the film with the, arguably, best Star Trek movie to date: Wrath of Khan. On top of that, it had to compete with E.T.

Blad Runner probably pulled in it's later popularity due to so many releases. The movie was also said to be "ahead of its time." Others claimed that the movie was too complex to get a mass appeal.

I work in IT, so there's TONS of nerds here: pretty much every last person loves this film.

Blade Runner is one of my fave films

Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, what more do you want?

whats so good about it is R.Scott gave us arguably the best distopian future earth - both in look and atmosphere - seen on screen.

And Harry Ford was in it, wake up!

Flying cars!!!

Daryl Hannah as a punk rock robot!

WIN

Well said, sir

I need to rewatch this, because I didn't like it very much when I watched it in High School (about 10 years ago).

star trek was popular long before the first movie came out...

Hello coolmovies, i have not seen the movie also. Listen that it is a film of hijacking and full of action. Director is good Ridley Scott, and the hero Harrison Ford also played a smart role i heard.

Yes, the look of the film, especially the way the city scapes were portrayed with the rows of flying cars amongst the skyscrapers, has set the standard for sci-fi movies. The Fifth Element and The Star Wars Prequels just to name a few.

Let us also acknowledge the sophistication. I think it's the only Science fiction movie, ever, to capture a sense of futuristic noir without feeling too overwhelming.

We have Syd Mead to thank for that, as we do for many other films.

Also, I believe Blade Runner is a popular Sci-Fi film because it's the only one that has really broken such an existential barrier as it has. Other Sci-Fi films fall short when it comes to actually touching base with the meaning of being human; the meaning to exist.

I saw it a few years back and didn't enjoy it.

Like most other cult movies, I think it's one of those things that either tickles your fancy, or doesn't. Apparently, I fall into the latter category.
