I'm surprised no one has mentioned Road Warrior or The Matrix, although I think Aliens beats both of these (maybe everyone else here does, too)... heretical though it may sound, I have to rate Blade Runner ahead of Aliens. a stunning movie, in so many ways. I'd kill to see the Director's Cut in a movie theater again (well okay, maybe not _kill_, but I'd certainly be willing to badly stub my toe on a piece of furniture).
