What's the best Blade Runner version? (Off-Topic)

It is the version I originally saw. And I hated the movie. But while I understand it is playing to that trope I don't think the film benefits from it. At all. There are definitely movies where a VO like that is great (Fallen, for example) I think it is totally a disservice to Blade Runner.

The question I have is, did you see it before you saw all the other movies that came after it and looked like it?

In 1982 it was unique, and its uniqueness went a long way.

I don't think I did. I think the first version I saw was the Director's cut, in 1992. (I don't remember seeing the original in theaters in 1982, though I was certainly watching movies then. not sure exactly why - probably a money thing.)

I'm not sure, but it really sounds like the movie resonated with you in a way that it didn't resonate with most people, at that point. And that's awesome for you, but it makes your opinion harder to use as a starting point. :)
