Blade Runner



Blade Runner has aged magnificently, looking just as stunning now as it must have done when it first came out and the directors cut ending makes it even better. The only thing that really roots it in the early eighties is the soundtrack by Vangelis, which probably sounded futuristic then, but even that has it's appropriate moments, adding to the cyber-film-noir mood.

I fucking love Vangelis. I listened to the soundtrack of Bladerunner, and it's amazing. Think my fav tracks from it was Love Theme, The Main Theme, and Rachel's Song.
