I know Blade Runner is always being touted as a Sci_fi classic, and while I am not going to disagree, I would argue that in doing so it sells it short. Blade Runner is so much more than that. I see it above all else as one of the most significant examples of Film Noir. The themes, the lighting, the dynamics, the ambiguity of the characters transcend the confines of sci-fi. So to me, it'll always sit more comfortably with a Double Indemnity than a 2001 or a Mad Max.
