Skip Blade Runner, it's too dated by now. Go straight to Serenity and then look-up the Firefly TV series to see where it all began. And if you're into zombies..... the entire Resident Evil series in order because the last one the best.

Firefly the singularly most overrated 4 episodes ever to air on television.

The movie, Serenity, was pretty good though.  I was actually rather surprised how well it turned out for a lower budget one.

And regarding Event Horizon, I've seen people bash it for some reason.  I have no idea why.  That is one of my favorite sci-fi-horror movies.

If you want another weird/horror 90s flick with Sam Elliott in it, then check out In The Mouth Of Madness.  Very Lovecraft inspired but not directly; dunno if that's your thing.

I've had my run in with the Firefly crowd.  I haven't watched them, but, my impression has been with Bison.  Overrated.  Definitely dug Event Horizon.

Just watched a movie last night called For Your Consideration.  It's a total goof on Hollywood.  It's about a movie that is being made called Home For Purim and some supposed Oscar buzz for one of the actors.  It stars Parker Posey, Harry Shearer, Catherine O'Hara (the Home Alone mom) and a cast of thousands including Ed Begley, Jr., Ricky Gervais, Eugene Levy, Christopher Guest, John Michael Higgins, Jennifer Coolidge (Stiffler's mom), Michael McKean, Fred Willard, Jane Lynch and more.

There were actually several episode of Firefly that didn't get shown on TV. I watched them and they were also pretty good even though they knew by then the show was dead.

You've probably seen them Bob. Three episodes didn't air during the original run on FOX. They did air in 2003 on Sci-Fi and were included in the DVD releases.

I think they're still on Netflix, and are presented in the intended order. FOX screwed the pooch and played them out of sequence, which made no sense to the audience at large. I don't think Firefly got a fair shake out of the gate.

FOX handled Firefly about as badly as a TV show can be handled.
