" My future's bleak- ain't it neat?"- the Ramones.

I'll add another Heston one- PLANET OF THE APES (1968). The guy's stuck on a whole planet thats ruled by 'dam dirty apes!'

Brazil, a world so bleak the only escape for the hero lies in insanity.

ERASERHEAD is one of the bleakest movies I ever seen.

THE BOOK OF ELI is interesting because it deals with a bleak world, but it tries to send a message of hope to it. Really enjoyed that one.

Gee I wish people would get over the contest and talk about one movie at a time.

I thought of one: LOGAN'S RUN.

Well, there are so many. After Alien and Blade Runner, a bleak future became more or less the default for movies. Even Star Trek, that most optimistic and shiny of franchises got grittier.

More on topic, does Robot Monster count? After all, humanity is all but extinct in that one.

fine john. i'll wait for at least 2 more posters to put up movies before i post again. i never thought t was a contest, simply thought of those 3 right off the bat and listed them. YOUR thread, YOUR rules.

Wasn't the whole plot of ROBOT MONSTER imagined by the kid? He was some crazy bastard.
