    From a cinematic quality standpoint, Blade Runner is the better movie.

    Which would I rather watch? Total Recall.

    Blade Runner is the bigger classic here, but it suffers from slow pace and little action. Total Recall is a lesser classic, but is a helluva more fun to watch on a first and second viewing. That said, it has dated particularly in the special effects while Blade Runner remains timeless.
