Here are some definitions that i thought would be useful in determining what characteristics these genres encompass. Its not much, however i do think that they get across some of the basic ideas of really understanding what the two mean.
Film Noir- shadowy, pessimistic movie: a cinematic genre popular in the 1940s and 1950s, often filmed in urban settings with extensive use of shadows, cynical in outlook, and featuring antiheroes. Definition courtesy of msn encarta: http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/film%2520noir.html
Sci-Fi- fiction based on futuristic science: a form of fiction, usually set in the future, that deals with imaginary scientific and technological developments and contact with other worlds.

Like i said, its not much, but i do think that these definitions manage to deliver a solid idea of what we should be looking for as far as determining what genre the movie "Blade Runner" falls under.
