As much I love Matrix especially for the Action Blade Runner goes beyond that for me.

Def Matrix here for me, two films that made my list facing so early always hurts tho

 

[Marty McFourth]

Oh boy, this was a toughie. I'll go for The Matrix, but I wouldn't be mad for either of these winning.

 

[CakeWalker]

The fact that Matrix won its last tie - still confuses me. But this is a dead cert - Blade Runner is an epic.

 

[Keith]

Tough one, but I actually fine Bladerunner overrated. The visuals and music are awesome. Solid cast too, but the story leaves me a bit cold. I voted The Matrix another great visonary film.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Blade Runner losing to The Matrix has me crying a little inside.
