It's the year 2173! Time to watch Sleeper again...

:rofl: The DVD rents from most places. If you have a Netflix subscription you can stream it from there, and watch the preview:

Woody Allen, 1973, PG

Health-food store proprietor Miles Monroe (Woody Allen) bites the dust in 1973 and ends up cryogenically frozen. Defrosted into a Big Brother dystopia where people pleasure themselves with an "orgasmatron" and dissidents' brains are "electronically simplified," Miles becomes a hunted man. He masquerades as an android butler in the home of a self-indulgent poet (Diane Keaton), but the ruse doesn't last, and soon they're both on the lam.



"Whenever he left the Whitehouse the Secret Service had to count the silverware."


"Never clone alone: with God's help in a couple of hours we will have our leader back."

3. My friends and I rented that movie more than any other in college.
It's paralyzingly funny, even after repeated viewings. (Actually, especially after repeated viewings.)

This movie made me a Woody Allen fan for life.

"No steak and no cream pies or hot fudge? No, those were thought to be unhealthy. Precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true." :rofl:
