Starship troopers was a masterpiece. Don't mock it.

I wasn’t! I promise you I was 100% serious, it’s one of my fav sci-fi movies… somewhere a few steps down the list from blade runner
It mocks itself more than enough. It needs no help from me.
Mocking itself was its whole point.
It _appears_ to mock itself, so it wouldn't be blamed for fascist's propaganda while being essentially a recrutement tool for US military.
Maybe you don't know very much about Paul Verhoeven.
What are you trying to say? I saw his films. Why should I know anything about a director to make a judgement on the film I watched. It looks like you are trying to pool one fallacy or another failing to address the points in my comment directly (it says in their favor).
Paul Verhoeven does not and would never intend for his film to recruit for the US military.

Then why are you mocking it if it needs no help?
Blade Runner seems to age like wine, and becomes more poignant with each re-watch.
It has a good pace, amazing visuals, asks tough questions, has some really good action sequences, etc.
Of course, everyone is looking for different things in movies and the experience is highly subjective.
Blade Runner will always be one of my favorites - right there with Contact, They Live, Jurassic Park, and other top-notch SciFi films.
