I've seen things you people wouldn't believe

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

I've watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Time to die.

Name the movie.

3. The original or the Director's Cut?
I find the original to be far superior. The Director's cut doesn't have the Deckert internal dialogue, and they changed the ending.

Can't find the goddam original version anywhere, but go figure, they just showed it on FX.

4. Great line. I rooted for the cyborg from that point on. Cool guy,
humanist too, in his odd way. Makes me want to say "I love LA!"

14. Me too.
Those are great lines; they just sort of opened a crack in the character, let you see something important about what his life had been in comparison to the the cop's life.

8. That was cake
That's the most popular line in the movie, I would say.

But can you name THIS movie:

(different genre)

"I like to dress in women's clothes."

10. A rough beast is in Washington slouches to be born?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

17. It's an inspired scene
One of the great moments in science-fiction cinema, right up there with Vader's beckoning in ESB and HAL's rendition of "Daisy" in 2001.
