In 2008, the American Film Institute listed Blade Runner as #6 on the Top 10 Sci-Fi Films Ever Made List.
TIME Magazine listed it as one of the Top 100 Movies of all time, with TIME Critics saying, "Blade Runner is likely to disappoint moviegoers hoping for sleek thrills and derring-do. But as a display terminal for the wizardry of Designers Lawrence G. Paull, Douglas Trumbull and Syd Mead, the movie delivers."
The Guardian poll said scientists vote Blade Runner as the favorite science fiction film of all time.
The New Scientist staff and readers both voted Blade Runner as the favorite sci-fi film, with one editor saying, "It's a great story, emotionally involving and well acted - and still has a mystery. Was Harrison Ford's cop really a cyborg?"
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Philip K. Dick:
"It would be hard to find a reader of science fiction who would disagree that Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a classic in the genre. It has all the elements of a great work of science fiction. It works on many levels and addresses a range of humanity's most pressing concerns. It is heavy in drama but also asks profound philosophical questions. The character development in this novel is as good as any I've read in a PKD book and the story draws on many of Dick's common themes. The story and drama of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? are perfect for Hollywood but also make intense observations about the nature of life, religion, technology and the human condition." --Jason Koornick philipKdickFans.com
"The last 50 pages of the book are deeply, deeply moving, even though I often could not explain to myself why I was so moved. When I finished the book, I had to sit down and just stare out into space for a while. And then I had to think. It's not often you come across a book like this. Read it now." --Steven Wu Steven Wu's Book Reviews
"The most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world." --John Brunner Author
"[Dick] sees all the sparkling-and terrifying-possibilities. . . that other authors shy away from." --Paul Williams Rolling Stone
"A Kind of Pulp-Fiction Kafka, a prophet." --Eric P. Nash The New York Times
"If the '70s and '80s belonged to William Burroughs, the millennium belongs to Philip K. Dick." --Erik Davis Details
