Dystopian Books and Movies

[Anonymous 0]

Dystopian works are amongst my favorites so, I am looking for some suggestions for a good read and or movies to watch. The library needs to be plundered, and I am moving into that cold part of the year soon and need to pass some time productivly.

Movies (many were originally books as well)

1984
Pink Floyd The Wall
Clockwork Orange
THX1138 (my avatar pic is from this)
Rollerball (75 version)
Lost Horizon
Omega Man
Planet of the Apes (series)
Brazil
Fahrenheit 451
A Boy and his Dog (inspiration for Mad Max)
Mad Max
The Road Warrior
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Escape from New York
Escape from L.A.
Logan’s Run
Minority Report
Elysium
Idiocracy
The Island
Blade Runner
They Live (f~~~ing awesome)
V for Vendetta
Soylent Green (you knew that one obviously)
Doomsday
The Running Man
The Postman
Red Dawn (original version)
Waterworld
Moon (Sam Rockwell, brilliant movie)
The Road (thanks Silverstone)

If we included Zombie movies I could run off like 30 easy that are decent to great.

I am sure I am missing a few classics here off the top of my head, most of this is sitting on a shelf next to me but I have more obscure stuff tucked away.

The Road is good, both a movie and a book. A boy and his dog is another good one. Mad max and Judge Dredd are also pretty cool, so far as the universes go, not individual movies.

If video games are your thing, fallout is a good series.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

Great suggestions, and I am glad you posted here Joe, I was hoping to get a list from you. And you hit one of my absolute favorite titles Hitman, I love All Quiet on the Western Fonrt. Been doing lots of research on The Great War, history is one thing I am into. Definatly going to go through the ones I know, other than 1984, and Farenheit 451, only read those last two, the rest I have not seen or watched in a while.

Thanks to everyone who posted on this topic and or will, I greatly appricate it.
