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.

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

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.

BRAZIL is my favorite. The movie adaptation of 1984 was very good also.

ZERO THEOREM is not out in the US until September, I think. I'll probably have to wait until DVD, though. METROPIA is on my to see list.

Okay for one. My favorite teacher once showed us Brazil in class one day and two. 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.

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

Actually METROPOLIS (1927) should go on my favorite dystopian film list too.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
