Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film

Posted by michael on from the like-tears-in-rain dept.

Delchanat writes "Now there's scientific proof: according to 60 of the most influential scientists in the world, including British biologist Richard Dawkins and Canadian psychologist Steven Pinker, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) is the best science fiction film. Late Mr. Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) finished 2nd, followed by George Lucas' Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980)." There are several other stories as well: favorite authors, the basics of science fiction, and an excerpt of a new Iain M. Banks novel.

    Or at least, I found it to be told in a slow and uninvolving way.

  2. lucas should not be on this list by unclefungus · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    He was just another guy in the 70's writing cheap sci-fi. his low budget film just happened to come along at the right time to start what is now his "empire." His movie was a decent story but not that great. Feel free to bring on your flames.
