I'm not that big a fan of Blade Runner either; much preferring stuff like Forbidden Planet (which shamefully only made it to number ten in the list) and This Island Earth (which outrageously never made the list at all!). I still want outer space to look like Altair-4 rather than the more desolate renderings that we see now. I want a universe populated by square jawed astronaut heroes, ego maniacal scientists with names like Moebius, toga wearing sweater girls and friendly robots.
My own Ten (because I'm bored and off work with a bad shoulder so have time for this kind of thing):
1. Forbidden Planet. (1956)
2. This Island Earth. (1955)
3. The Time Machine. (1960)
4. The Day the Earth Stood Still. (1951)
5. Quatermass and the Pit. (1967)
6. Dark Star. (1974)
7. 2001: A Space Odyssey. (1968)
8. Planet of the Apes. (1968)
9. A Boy and His Dog. (1975)
10. Flash Gordon (1980)
