            I saw the movie way back then at a drive in with my 1st wife. We made it through about half the flick and quickly drove home. Definately deserves the designation.

              Not really Sci-Fi though was it? It was aired in the UK at the time (and has been repeated a billion times since on the Sci-Fi channel for some reason - it was set in the present day IIRC - even if it was meant to be set a year in the future, I still don't think it counts as Sci-Fi!). There was a similar UK one called "Threads" which was really, really scary - it pulled no punches whatsoever and rather than finishing a few months after the war, it showed how life might be a decade or so later (medieval basically, ending with a gorl of 13 or so giving birth to a horribly deformed baby). I still get the willies just thinking about it (I have it on DVD as it has been hard to come by in the past).

                              Bladerunner is my favorite movie of all time bar none. The Bladerunner computer game released a few years ago was also amazing.
