It will count as a Phantom Zone movie, where time has no meaning.

I loved the Airplane movies! Leslie Nielsen is the best.
At least one of the Naked Gun movies was in the 80s right?
I am not lost. I know exactly where I am, I am in some shitty fucking hell, which is exactly what I deserve. But you… YOU are lost. All my life I thought that I needed you, that I couldn’t survive without you, fuck! Fuck! It was the other fucking way around. It was the other way around.

I would also suggest Blade Runner, but deciding which version to watch could be terribly difficult 😉.
I know I’m in the minority saying this, but I thought Blade Runner sucked. It’s got A+++ cinematography and prod. design on an F- movie. Maybe that makes me unsophisticated, but I know a little about filmmaking…

P.S. Alien on the other hand…beyond reproach

I think Blade Runner is properly regarded. It’s got a complex and adult script, odd and compelling characters (nobody is really likeable as such but they are interesting). The acting is top drawer throughout and then comes the environment which is astonishing. When it first came out it was under-rated.
I showed it to a friend of mine who had come from a little village in India and hadn’t seen many western movies and he genuinely thought that American cities had flying cars while watching this.
Clearly Scott is a visualist only. The level of visual perfection in Blade Runner is still evident in Prometheus (if you ignore the makeup job on Guy Pierce) but with Alien and Blade Runner there were proper writers and actors that could cope with very limited character direction.
If younger Harrison was in Prometheus he would have probably not allowed his character to as much as a twit as the crew of Prometheus. That’s the difference between an artist and a professional, both can make money but it’s usually an accident when a professional makes art.

“The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension”
Ugh, talk about overrated.
Granted, my feelings on that movie are probably tainted by a college roommate who insisted it was the best movie ever, better than Star Wars, better than Raiders, better than anything else I’d ever seen.
Kind of sounds like some of the insane opinions on this forum, come to think of it. Maybe he’s a member here.

It’s not the best film ever but it’s quirky in a fun sort of way.
It feels like an 80s adaptation of a much better comic strip.
Some people love the Mystery Men film (which has a similarly quirky feel) but that isn’t anywhere near as good as Flaming Carrot or The Mystery Men comics. In some alternate dimension Buckaroo Banzai has a much better comic book existence of which the film is but a pale shadow.

There is no question that the film looks astonishing, and if you’re in the mood you can watch just for the visuals. I’ve done that before.
What I can’t get over is the script. It doesn’t have a large climax. It doesn’t have small climax. It is just a flat line all the way through. Worse, it seems to diminish in intensity all the way through.
I came up with a KICKASS dystopia film in 2006 just by looking at the Blade Runner DVD COVER and imagining what kind of movie that would be like. I still intend to make it. When I actually saw Blade Runner a couple of years later, I was hugely disappointed that they took such a strong sense of style and SQUANDERED it!

The final chase is very tense. At it’s all about the main themes of good and evil, survival and slavery. Questions of identity and it’s final conclusion is actually rather gentle for such a brutal film.
What we are is fleeting and easily washed away, enjoy it while you can.
A simple but rather profound thing to say in a film that came out around the same time Arnie was adopting Roger Moore’s mantle of the pun quip to a violent death.
