Top 50 Dystopian Movies of All Time

I've seen all but seven or eight of them, which is surprising and also depressing. I see too many movies!

mousepod · 10-02-2007, 12:08 PM

I actually have most of these on DVD. Scary.

innerSpaceman · 10-02-2007, 12:45 PM

Wow, I must like this genre. I've seen 39 of the 50, and I have about half of those on DVD.

Now I want to see the others on the list.

Some of the inclusions are bogus, though. Serenity? Uh, a stretch.

But Pleasantville, WTF?

Cadaverous Pallor · 10-02-2007, 03:56 PM

Damn, still haven't seen A Scanner Darkly.

I can't believe Running Man didn't make the list but some of this other schlock did. (Running Man is my type of schlock.)

OMG there are so many of these I need to see. Mousepod, are you taking notes??

Cool list.
Metropolis, Clockwork and Children of Men... love 'em!

BarTopDancer · 10-02-2007, 04:04 PM

I've seen about 20 of these. Wow. I impressed myself!

Not on the list and should be - The Handmaid's Tale

I'm not sure I'd rank them (the movies I've seen, at least) in the same order, but it's a cool list.

Also, I don't consider Wings of Desire a Dystopian film, but whaddeva.

Not Afraid · 10-02-2007, 06:42 PM

I've seen a whopping 26 our of 50.

I can see how Wings of Desire made the list but I think Until The End of The World would have been a better Wim Wenders choice.

City of Lost Children AND Delicatessen. Awesome.
