To respond to the question about "Bladerunner" as film noir,
I would have to say, "yes, and successfully."  Everything
about the film fit that genre:  the introspective, anti-
hero protagonist; the beautiful, mysterious woman; the
extreme griminess of the city; the pervasive undertone of
danger; the uncertain ending (how long do they have?).
Color is not a danger to film noir if it is kept subtle.
