I can't think of an example of a "classic" that was "done better and more convincing". However, I don't have a good definition of what a "classic" is.
I enjoyed
Blade Runner, but I definitely would not rank it as one of the "better movies ever made". It's definitely worth a viewing. If you're looking for where movies like
Bladerunner came from, I would watch some film noir (
The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, Out of the Past, etc.). I don't think that
Bladerunner improved upon those "classics".
