Bladerunner is on any shortlist of films to be seen in a SciFi academic setting. Philip K. Dick, simply LOVED Hauer and his death soliloquy is perhaps the best or certainly short list.
Film was nominated for a total of 23 or more awards, up to 25 years after release. No Oscars, though.
Bladerunner is #5 on the AFI Top100 SciFi Films list.
Complaints about weak casting and such? YOU try to do better. Me? I would have cast Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller in the 2 main roles.
Too much is never enough
