I think Blade Runner was more exciting at the time it was made - the 'used future' look has now been copied by so many that those of us watching it now for the first time aren't as impressed. Also, the great ending speech from Batty sticks out in people's memories long after the rest of the movie gets blurry - a good ending makes people like a movie more. I *like* the movie, but yeah, I don't *love* it.

I read Phillip K Dick's story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" first, and was told that Blade Runner was based on it - I think that actually confused me more! They've got similar basic elements, but different goals.

Season 4 of Lost rocks, although there's fewer little hidden allusions to look for. More action though, and some good payoffs of previous setups.
