Blade Runner: The Final Cut (1982) starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young. Set in 2019 in Los Angeles, "blade runner" Rick Deckard (Ford) is recalled from retirement to hunt down four replicants (humanoid robots) which have returned to Earth from the off-world colonies. This version of the movie is director Ridley Scott's preferred version, having been recut and remastered from the original. It dispenses with Deckard's voice-over and adds a dream sequence which suggests that Deckard himself may be a replicant. The visualization of a future, dystopian L.A. is stunning, and the soundtrack by Vangelis is a masterpiece. Some critics have panned this film for problems with the acting or the script, but it remains one of my favorite movies ever. Grade: A
