I own blade runner, and after about 15 minutes of watching it, i couldnt take no more, it was too boring.
it was probably because i kept picturing the movie as star wars and him being Han Solo.

i collect movies as a hobby, older ones on VHS but not DVD.

My top list but in no particular order

1. Red Sonia
2. American Pop
3. American Beauty
3. The Great Escape
4. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
5. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
6. The Lost Boys
7. Pulp Fiction
8. Inglorious Basterds
8. Saving private ryan
9. Mallrats
10. Who framed Roger Rabbit?
11. Biodome
12. Back to the Future
13. Clerks
14. Downfall
15. Band of Brothers

If anyone likes horror movies also check out The Curse from the 80's I think it might be based on an HP Lovecraft story. I got all 4 curse movies in diffrent formats vhs/laserdisc/dvd rip. I mostly watch older movies myself. Im a collector of the rare and obscure/cheezy flicks.
