R
ain is restorative and moody and when it is used in a film, it often signifies a moment of great importance or change. The following iconic
scenes utilize the rain in such a way that you can’t separate the film from the storm. Be forewarned, since rain is often used for these
big and important moments (it can be expensive and hard to film in, hence why it’s only used when necessary), a lot of the following
moments reveal spoilers for the movies.
”Blade Runner” (1982) — The final moments of the neo-noir, sci-fi film
wouldn’t have been as memorable without a doctoring from Rutger Hauer
as he played the dying replicant, Roy Batty. Sure, the finale is packed with
cool action shots of the showdown between Batty and Detective Rick Deck-
ard (Harrison Ford) as they bounce on rooftops in a downpour, but it was
Hauer’s delivery of his characters final lines remembering the vivid mo-
ments of his past before culminating it with, “All those moments will be lost
to time, like tears in the rain,” that seal it. For an already visually stunning
film, the short monologue stands out as one of the most memorable mo-
ments in it. Stream it on Hulu or HBO Max or rent it on Amazon Prime,
Google Play, iTunes, Vudu or YouTube.
