Blade Runner is a fascinating entry. When released, it wasn't hailed as highly as it is now (and was also not edited and re-edited into the popular Final Cut we know and love today). It's funny, a lot of re-edits of films done later on rarely end up all that great. But Blade Runner is one of the few to help completely change its status.
For me, this is the most interesting pick in the top 10 so far. Partly because of the above, but also because it's a very unique film. Heavy on style, atmosphere and a leading example of neo-noir (even though that subgenre dates back a lot earlier) and with a mystery noir approach that contains a subtler storytelling and an interesting incorporation of sci-fi elements and big themes, this is certainly a spellbinding experience. It's not all that inviting of a film and it took me a few watches to appreciate it, but now I really like it. Of course, what really draws me in is the technical marvel on display, the gorgeous visuals and amazing score. It really helps to add that special vibe or feel that the movie has, which is so unique, and how it created this whole new look for a dystopian sci-fi world is just great.
I did not vote for it, but I don't mind seeing it here. It definitely deserves to be on the list, but it was higher than I first thought it would be.
