what was yoru first favorite scifi movie?

That would be...slow swelling of haunting synthesizer background...sudden explosion of belching flames and timpani!...BLADE RUNNER!!!

It's not just my favorite sci-fi, it's like my other obsession. I even have fan art up at a fansite: http://www.bladezone.com/contents/fan/art/Mike-Anderson/ . I just shelled out a whack of money to get the Romanian bootleg "complete" soundtrack CD (Vangelis official release lacked all kinds of great music from the movie). I dunno...it's funny, cuz I also love sci-fi with huge special effects (just saw Episdoe II on IMAX and was blown away), but I love BR cuz it's so subtle, and so designed to seem gritty and real. Also cuz it reminds me of a good Raymond Chandler or James Ellroy novel. Dark, brutal, gloomy. And I always cry at the end when poor old Roy Batty gives up the ghost...:cry:...and the music...everything. It just works for me as one great work of art.

I could go on forever but I hope that answers your question!

aloha,
