    Gladiator! Man, that's one riveting movie. When Jimmy Marshall finally fights Brian Dennehy with bare bone fist to the death, that's just heart pounding stuff. Not to mention Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. also has some great fights. The fights aren't exactly real life like, but they certainly are better, and more dramatic than Rocky's. Plus, no only is Marshall a great white hope, he's also significantly smaller than Sly Stallone, which makes us......hmmm, wait a sec here....

    I voted other, because I haven't seen any of those movies(well, I might have seen Alien, but I don't remember much of it).
    Darkly Noon(or the Passions of Darkly Noon, I've heard i both ways) is one of my favorite movies, and it shows that, despite what was seen in The Mummy movies, Brendan Frasier can indeed act.

    I don't particularly care for Ridley scott's directorial style, but if I have to choose one it's definitely Hannibal.

    Blade Runner, with Alien falling very closely behind.

    In all seriousness, I have been told too many times by several different people to give Blade Runner another chance, so I'll reserve my thoughts on it. Excluding that, I would recognize Alien as the most well made movie out of the ones I've seen, and Thelma & Louise to be the most emotionally appealing film to me.

    Blade Runner, for the way it pulls you into increasingly deeper levels of the film...from just a simple hunt'em down retro-future noir movie to a questioning of some of the fundamental human questions about life and death with great imagery and characters...

    Alien and Gladiator are close though...


    What about G.I. Jane :p

    "What about G.I. Jane"

    I omitted it because I thought it would stink up the poll. :p

    Hannibal without a doubt, closely followed by Alien. I'm getting Blade Runner next week, so that may change. I like Gladiator, but no more than the next mediocre blockbuster.

    Didn't Ridley Scott direct Black Hawk Down? I voted for Other.

    Blade Runner. What can be better than Harrison Ford vs. Rutger Hauer?

    Alien. It's one of my favorite movies of all time.

    Out of the other ones I've only seen Blade Runner, Gladiator, and Hannibal. Blade Runner was good, Gladiator was OK, and Hannibal sucked.

    Gladiator. It's the only RS film I've seen so far, but I love it! It's one of my favourite movies. I think I've seen it 12 times or so...

    I'm not particularly crazy about Ridley Scott, but I voted for Hannibal because he did a pretty good job and it's probably the best story.

    Gladiator is the best but I haven't seen Bladerunner. I hate Alien. It is so boring and not scary at all. I can't even watch it the whole way through anymore because I get so bored.
