Blade Runner, 1982
Wired Magazine ranks sci-fi films on their dystopianess and finds that often the darker the movie, the lower the box office draw. I would argue that box office draw is more often than not converse to the quality of a film, and particularly in the case of sci-fi darker=better (which I suppose may just be more of a personal mantra than anything else.)

While watching Blade Runner: The Final Cut on the big screen this past weekend, it occourred to me how cool it would be for the city of Los Angeles to build a new police station exactly like Syd Mead's cylindrical tower design from the film... flying car portal on the roof and all. Why not?
