"Blade Runner"
Ridley Scott's futuristic film noir may be the most expensive (and influential) cult movie of all time. Harrison Ford's elegantly rumpled, rain-drenched, android-hunting sleuth finds himself outclassed by his prey (particularly noble villain Rutger Hauer), the 'Metropolis'-influenced architecture of 2019 Los Angeles, and the crisis of human identity at the heart of this Philip K. Dick story. (But he still manages to be a typically Fordian man of action, acrobatic, resourceful, and with a very high pain threshold.) Look for the version without the superfluous voiceover, a cut that does a better job of preserving the ambiguity of whether Ford's gumshoe is himself human or replicant.The X Files DVD
