Chuck: Thanks for reading.

As for “the blade runner of our time” or any of the 3 times I say that, its not a content comparison as much as it is a quality comparison, which is only relevant if you think Blade Runner is quality, which I do very much so. So consider it a compliment toward Children Of Men, but not a comparison of content. It’s a comparison that exists due to genre, scope, and vision.

You really need to see Sunshine.

I like the list. I don’t think I can say I agree or disagree with any since it is opinion, and your not claiming any is “Best”. Very surprised by “Cast Away,” but your explanation clarifies it, I love it, but did not think you would.

“Unbreakable,” and “Best In Show,” I consider them to be the best work of each director.

I still need to see “Sunshine”, I’ve been saying that for the last 2 years.

“The Blade Runner of Our Time,” I hate that tagline. I think “Children of Men” is the “Children of Men” of our time, no need to compare to another movie, it stands on it’s own, it has nothing to do with “Blade Runner,” and I wish people wouldn’t compare the two.

But good list. I agree with the Edger Wright stuff, I was late to the part for “Shaun of the Dead”, but I was on board for “Hot Fuzz.”
