Results of our Ridley Scott poll and Blade Runner giveaway

Your favourite Ridley Scott movie is...

To coincide with our recent Ridley Scott theme here at Flickering Myth we've been asking for your favourite movie from the Brit director's extensive back catalogue. Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to vote (431 in all, a new record!) and secondly, for those three who opted for Hannibal... WTF?? Anyway, here are the results in full:

Blade Runner (1982) 119 (27%)
Alien (1979) 107 (24%)
Gladiator (2000) 92 (21%)
Black Hawk Down (2001) 23 (5%)
American Gangster (2007) 22 (5%)
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) 19 (4%)
Black Rain (1989) 11 (2%)
The Duellists (1977) 10 (2%)
Matchstick Men (2003) 8 (1%)
Legend (1985) 7 (1%)
Body of Lies (2008) 5 (1%)
Thelma & Louise (1991) 4 (0%)
Hannibal (2001) 3 (0%)
1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) 1 (0%)
G.I. Jane (1997) 0 (0%)
A Good Year (2006) 0 (0%)
Someone to Watch Over Me (1987) 0 (0%)
White Squall (1996) 0 (0%)

Little surprise there really with Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiator way out in front of the field but it's nice to see the underappreciated Black Rain get some support and of course, my absolute surprise that anyone out there actually managed to enjoy Hannibal.

On a final note, the lucky recipient of our latest DVD giveaway is Steven Montgomery, who bags a copy of Blade Runner: The Final Cut. Thanks to everyone who entered and check back soon for more great giveaways.
