What's your favorite bleak/dystopian future flick?

[marmar]

I'm watching "Children of Men" right now. It's got to be my favorite "the future sucks" movie.

1. The Road

but the book was better than the film.

Rain sucks.

11. this! this! this!

Ohhh, Deckard. :loveya:

"Wake up! Time to die!"

3. Eraserhead.

I've not seen any film so far that looks and sounds as bleak.

4. My choice, too. Its rawness scrapes me at my core.

5. Morning Joe N/T

[Rowdyboy]

9. You just got my nomination for "Best Response of the Day"!

[htuttle]

6. Brazil

Director's cut.

Second choice would be Blade Runner. Also the director's cut.

Coincidentally, both movies were initially spoiled by editors for the American theatrical releases.

[Anakin Skywalker]

7. The one where a Department of Fatherland SSecurity strip-searches people!

Did Hollywood ever make such a movie that combines authority figures in spiffy uniforms and hot women in pseudo-porn?

Oh wait, that was just today at airports all over America!

[Peregrine]

8. A Boy and His Dog

What more would you want than a dog that can smell out food and women, both in short supply.

10. Soylent Green....but

"The Day After Tomorrow" is how I see things going down....I freaking love the scene where the 3 men make a toast. "TO MANCHESTER UNITED"...damn straight!

12. Silent Running, with Bruce Dern in all his glory!

13. "Children Of Men" is mine too...what sold it for me was the scene

where he is being driven to the Ark of the Arts in a limo while "In The Court Of The Crimson King" plays languidly in the background.
