Title: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: Living_Dead_Girl on July 27, 2014, 11:26:19 AM What is your ultimate favorite distopian film? We do not just have the hunger games. We have bade runner. They live. And movie adaptations off books (Like with blade runner as well as the hunger games) I put this in good movies to not limit us to B-Grade or otherwise.
I tend to prefer reading or watching distopian stories. Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: Jack on July 27, 2014, 12:20:06 PM The first two Mad Max movies were great, then there's Rollerblade Warriors, Hell Comes To Frogtown, Damnation Alley, Phoenix The Warrior, Creepozoids, Crash and Burn, Hybrid, Robot Jox, and probably a dozen others I can't remember right now :smile:
Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: JaseSF on July 27, 2014, 01:20:31 PM Some that come to mind: Children of Men, 1984, Blade Runner, Soylent Green, The Omega Man, Planet of the Apes (1968), Equilibrium, 12 Monkeys, Escape From New York, A Clockwork Orange, Brazil, The Handmaid's Tale, THX-1138, V For Vendetta
Logan's Run is pretty much a Dysptopian future disguised as utopian. Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: Rev. Powell on July 27, 2014, 01:21:57 PM BRAZIL is my favorite. The movie adaptation of 1984 was very good also.

I'll probably have to wait until DVD, though. METROPIA is on my to see list. Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites?

I though you guys meant "Metropolis" About female robots and I was like "They remade it?" Considering I have only ever seen the black and white silent version. I actually got exited xD But Metropia is now another DVD I want looking it up on google. Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: Josso on July 28, 2014, 03:27:59 AM There's an anime film called metropolis (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293416/) it may be what you are thinking of, as for metropia the animation along weirded me out
Quote ZERO THEOREM is not out in the US until September, I think. Quote USA 19 August 2014 (internet) USA 19 September 2014 Pretty sure HD internet versions are out (itunes or whatnot), maybe not retail bluray. But yeah it is gettable in good quality now for anyone who is desperate to see, you may have to import/download though. Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites?

2020 Texas Gladiators, Endgame, Warriors of the Wasteland,Wheels of Fire, and others Also enjoyed Turkey Shoot, a.k.a. Escape 2000 Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: Trevor on July 28, 2014, 04:54:25 AM I don't know if Cherry 2000 fits in here, but I'll mention it anyway. :teddyr:
In South African terms, Doomsday, The Survivor and Survival Zone were pretty OK. :smile: Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: zombie no.one on July 28, 2014, 05:39:43 AM Collossus: The Forbin Project was quite interesting
Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites? Post by: major jay on July 28, 2014, 06:48:34 AM I guess 2019: AFTER THE FALL OF NEW YORK and THE NEW BARBARIANS deserve a mention. :teddyr:

Downloading is the ace up my sleeves when I decide I would rather rent, bills and groceries paid for... cause then where would I watch my DVD's??? xD my favorites were the '80s ripoffs of The Road Warrior 2020 Texas Gladiators, Endgame, Warriors of the Wasteland,Wheels of Fire, and others Also enjoyed Turkey Shoot, a.k.a. Escape 2000 I like Distopian films with action, explosions, babes and ninja skill fighting and all that jazz. Regardless in it remake or original. :D I guess 2019: AFTER THE FALL OF NEW YORK and THE NEW BARBARIANS deserve a mention. :teddyr: Here's one to look forward to.

Collossus: The Forbin Project was quite interesting Yep! on another note, how could I forget this?! Beyond The Black Rainbow ([url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1534085/[/url]) Is beyond the black rainbow about a girl trapped in this weird place? I think the director had an interesting formula for inspiration for this. And I am pretty sure I have heard off the Forbin project. And any found footage found in the wreckage of any Pretoria laundry that I happen to deliver my underpants to..... :wink: :tongueout: :teddyr: Trevor's underwear! Whats makes this forum home! xD Title: Re: Distopian films. Your favorites?

Logan's Run - I love the original movie, and have the as-yet-unwatched TV series waiting Equilibrium - I have shown this to at least three guys who have said, 'if you were a chick, I would kiss you right now!' Not exactly the reaction I was looking for, but a sure testament to its impact. Soylent Green The Omega Man and may I add: Zardoz - both dystopian and utopian at the same time. The Ultimate Warrior - I saw this Yul Brynner movie as a kid. Still enjoy it. The Underworld movies Aeon Flux - the Charlize Theron version which I found surprisingly good. The Time Machine - both the original and the Guy Pearce / Samantha Mumba remake |
