Demolition Man???

It’s corny, but I’d still say it’s a classic. So many great lines of dialogue, the prediction of a future dominated by neo-Victorian PC police turned out to be eerily prescient, and the epic rant near the end by Denis Leary’s character make this one a keeper for me.

Agree. It's not particularly good, the computer stuff is getting dated. But the action, one-liners, and satirical look at the whole "be well" sheeple thing is hilarious. You're right, Denis Leary's rant is right on target.

Yeah, I think we did this a few weeks ago on a different thread. These two two are all that came to mind. I haven’t really seen many movies in a theater in along time, so I remember these well. Now, some great movies I found recently are The Lineup (1958) and Across The Bridge (1957). Very good copies of both are available on YouTube. Also, you can find Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat for free - not to be missed.

Agreed. It’s no award winner (of course that’s a positive in my book), but some of the future predictions they spoofed on are coming all too true.
