“Like Tears in Rain” (Blade Runner)

You can’t call yourself a true sci-fi fan if you still haven’t watched Ridley Scott’s iconic 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner. In one of the film’s best scenes, the hero Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) faces the main antagonist Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer).

In the scene, Hauer delivered a memorable speech, which included the quote, “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.” And while it sounded like something the Blade Runner screenwriters should’ve come up with, the actor made them up. Unsurprisingly, Hauer ended up working as a writer later in his career with the 2016 short movie Cuba Libre.
