While I enjoy the heck outta the sequel whenever I rewatch it, let's be honest: the original is still the very best.
OP you just gave me an idea: I think I'm gonna create an Arcane appreciation post, I haven't seen one here and THERE MUST BE ONE

Blade Runner, Alien, Raised by Wolves... Ridley Scott has made the greatest Sci-Fi works hands down
I'd also like to take the opportunity to praise CDPR for creating that Blade Runner Easter Egg in Cyberpunk 2077, which I think is pretty remarkable and deserves more attention from an artistic point of view. At the time when I've discovered it during my first play-through, I haven't watched the movie yet. However, it instantly felt like a scene from a familiar movie. It felt special. It felt unrelated to the main story, yet it provided the same quality. It truly felt like a tribute, although I had no idea what it was about. Well done!

I was on a long flight last weekend and ended up rewatching Blade Runner 2049, which made me appreciate the origianl movie more. On my first viewing, I quite liked 2049, but after this rewatch I have to say that, although I still liked it a lot and thought it was a very good film, there's something about the original that really makes it stand out more.
I think I've seen the original 3 times, and each time I've watched it, the film seems to get better and better. I can only think of a few movies that are like that for me: Chinatown, Gladiator, Heat, In Bruges, Lord of the Rings, Scarface, Braveheart, There Will Be Blood and probably a couple more that I'm forgetting.
It's an extremely well-made movie that absolutely stands the test of time - it's crazy to think that it was made 40 years ago now. Something very raw and melancholic about this film, all different aspects of it coming together beautifully to form a cohesive and memorable whole. A bit of a slow burn, but it more than earns that and, in fact, it likely wouldn't be as good otherwise.

Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers... Paul Verhoeven has made some great ones as well
