I loooooove Soylent Green. This is definitely in the "so bad it's good" category. The silliness of the thing is just priceless. And if you love over-the-top Heston at his scenery-chewing best, you can't beat it. Throw in Edward G and you've got a real winner. The "message" merely dates the film, in my view, and is part of the charm.

It's a fine line between bad and BAD. "Omega Man" is another silly 70s sci fi featuring my man Heston, but that one is a little harder to take. But I can watch Soylent Green over and over again. I guess it's a bit of a fetish.

I can understand your points with the film . . . just not my perspective, I guess.

Omega man . . . I think I’m more of a similar mind with you on that one.
