1984
The film adaptation of George Orwell’s famed 1949 novel of the same name (and current favorite reading material of America’s right wing), 1984 follows a lowly citizen living under a totalitarian regime called Oceania. The novel was first adapted for the screen in 1956, but this version is the official 1984 version of 1984. This version is considered to be the best screen adaptation of the story, remaining pretty faithful to the source material. Stream it. Big Brother is watching.

Decent list. I was surprised to see that they included Never Let Me Go. It’s a good pick, but it is a pro-life film if one connects the dots. I continue to be amazed that neither the filmmakers nor any of the reviewers seem able to make the connection. Of course, most of them are presumably good liberals, and if they were able to connect the dots, they would have to change sides.

Cosmopolitan? and they didn’t include ‘Waterworld’?
To: DallasBiff
It's an interesting list. I never thought of “Interstellar” being dystopian. It seems more Sci-fi. It's one of the few newer movies I really like.
Wall-E is a real stretch for dystopian, not buying it.
I just finished watching "A Tale of Two Cities" (1980), that was a juxaposition of a dystopian society against a non-dystopian one.

Brazil. The directors cut. Not United States release. P.S....not to be confused with Boys from Brazil.

The MonitorsOffbeat late 60s semi-comedy about visitors from outer space who are "here for our benefit". Lots of interesting cameos

Orwell’s work, 1984, remains influential in popular and political culture, and the adjective “Orwellian”—describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices—is part of the English language.
He also gave us, “Big Brother”, “Thought Police”, “Room 101”, “Newspeak”, “memory hole”, “doublethink”, and “thoughtcrime”.
George Orwell is ranked second among “The 50 greatest British writers since 1945”.

The movie didn’t make any sense.
The Mexican director turned it into propaganda for illegal immigration, something the author wouldn’t have approved of.

12 Monkeys, the film with Bruce Willis (1995), didn’t make the list.

I love “Cloud Atlas” I paid to see it three times. If you didn’t like it, it’s because you’re wrong.
