I have a few movies like that, but blade runner is definitely one of them. Another somewhat similar, yet also completely different film for me is Gattaca.

I think both for similar reasons, that I can't quite put my finger on

Damn. Now I’m going to have to watch Gattaca again.

Fun story. The first time I ever saw Gattaca was in my high school ceramics class. There wasn’t time to run the kiln before the school year ended and there were no requirements for the teacher for the last week of school, and it was an alternative (bad kid) school so he knew we were cool, so he just put Gattaca on to watch because it was one of his favorite movies, then it became one of my favorite movies. That dude was rad.
