t-Factor is finished or OH would have commandeered the big telly 
Have watched it maybe 6 times over the years, but not for some time and it's still a remarkable film. Although i actually enjoy Ford's narration on the original, although the ending is slightly better than the cinematic release.
The musical score is magical, the city landscapes rich and textured and the whole film still feels timeless.
Roy Batty's death speech is the stuff of cinema legend, if it doesn't make you reflect on life, then you must be devoid of any feeling

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die.

Depends which version you watch, the original 'with narration' cut there's very little to suggest he is a replicant.
The directors cut, with the unicorn and the lip synching error near the start where the guy talks about too many replicants escaping (sorry, can't remember exactly...he says 6 escaped, one was killed and then describes 4 that deckard is after...or something) is very suggestive
Final cut with the unicorn but without the lip-synch mistake(? have not checked) is very open.

For those that are interested, I read the original story and (even keeping an eye out for it) there is no suggestion he is a replicant, but then it is very very different.

I believe he was a replicant. I was under the impression that those left behind on earth are mainly those with an ailment who can't pass the medical test, so why is he still there? There are a few pointers other than the unicorn. Sepia pictures on his piano that don't really suit, none with him in them as a child or with family, a moment when he has uncontrolled pupil dilation and so on.
