3) Blade Runner (1982)

Ridley Scott's Blade Runner today is a forerunner sci-fi vision that is dystopian, but for its 1982 release date, it generated mixed reviews at the box office. Audiences found it slow for its pacing and complex themes. Even so, some of the finer aspects of such a cyberpunk future are incredibly visually stunning on film. Even with multiple releases and Scott's director cut, it holds a cult film status. It's hard to believe this cornerstone of the genre was initially overlooked.
