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.

Cosmopolitan does not give a numerical rank, but this is the first movie that shows up, so I guess it's #1.

I know it is Cosmopolitan, but it is interesting what liberals think.

The Book of Eli - Denzel Washington

[OttawaFreeper]

Richard Burton’s last great performance in the role of O’Brien in 1984.

Demolition Man

Pretty solid list of flicks. I haven’t seen 9 of them.

Demolition Man

sounds like a song title

When did we end up in one? Seriously, it’s like the bad guys won a sci-fi movie!

They skipped Max Max and The Road Warrior?

A Boy and his Dog

I forgot about that one. Got milk? Ouch!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOVE that one...and the message.

[MNDude]

there’s too many dystopian movies and almost no utopian movies.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Given Cosmo’s very leftist bent, I would not be surprised if ‘Cast a Giant Shadow’ was on their list of ‘dystopia movies’!

Omega Man

Omega Man is fun

[cowboyusa]

The ending of that movie teared me up.
