Dystopian movies

[NRC]

My family has banned me from picking a movie at family movie night, because I always lean in to dystopian movies. I can’t help it, they grip me. Bizarrely my 2nd favorite genre is musicals, but that’s for a different thread

What are you favorite dystopian movies? My top two are
1. The Road - watched it once, but never again. As a parent I can’t deal with the parent/child desperation
2. The Platform - what a stark, though amazing metaphor for society

[Spiral]

Children of Men is incredible.

Never heard of it, Spiral, and I think Clive Owen has stolen an acting career, but no mistaking the qualifications of Alfonso Cuaron though. I’ll have to give it a look and squint at it while Owen is in the shot

[Spiral]

Honestly it's one of his better performances. His character is downtrodden and exhausted all the time (as you would be living in a dystopian London police state), which suits his style.

Musicals make me grind my teeth.

Have you seen 'Brazil'?

I don’t like Terry Gilliam either so no

Hunger games trilogy (4 films so how can it be a Trilogy ) 1 2 and 3(pt's 1 + 2) aren't bad watching

this film is pretty much the "Now" we are living in.

Good list there.

Personally, Akira is my favourite.
