Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2 with bucket seats and Hurst shifter

I wish they’d stop damaging cars like that

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.

The 6th Day is pretty good

The Island too

And Michael Bay gets to keep making movies

It’s just not fair! /obscure reference

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 Monitors

Offbeat 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”.

CHILDREN OF MEN was a great book and very bad film.

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.

Idiocracy — a documentary ahead of its time!

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

...CHILDREN OF MEN was a great book and very bad film.

I didn't read the book , but the scene where they come out with the baby was the most intense moment I've ever seen on film.

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