Even more Blade Runner

I recognize it's not exactly traditional comfort viewing and some of the violence squicks me, but man, it's so well-made. The visuals! The opening scene with Leon is really really well done. It's leaving US Netflix on May 1 so if you're interested and/or have lots of downtime, maybe binge it again like I did. (I was also in a bad mood with morons on another site and needed something "relaxing.")

Also, I don't think I caught this last time, but the photograph of Rachael and her "mother" trying to establish her memories is called back to in 2049 by the photograph of Freysa holding Rachael's newborn. :(

It's a great movie. I made my kids watch it as one of the foundational texts for today's SFF. The new one is pretty good too. Not as good as the original, but good.

I think 2049 is very well-done as well. Respects the original but forges its own ground.
