Escape from NY and its sequels and the Planet of the Apes movies.
Maybe Deathrace and Freejack, too. Rollerball. Tank girl. Matrix.

He say you Brade Runner. Now gimme my noodles. No, four.
I'm a big fan of Jenny Agutter in Logan's Run.
And I like the Costner movies, Waterworld and The Postman, even though most thought they sucked. The Postman by Brin is a good read.

Is Metropolis the sort of thing I would enjoy going to that AFI screening with a live orchestra, or will I enjoy it more on a 50 inch at home

Maybe not the best but Battle Royale is a badass movie. I havent read Hunger games but it sounds similar.

Blood of Heroes-- it may not make the top tier of the list, but you can't beat Rutger Hauer + dystopian team gladiator deathgames.

I can't believe I didn't add that already. What a great movie.

Its too bad the movie version of 1984 wasn't very good, because the book is my favorite dystopian story ever.
I don't know what you mean, but it had the cadence of a joke.

ARENA - 1989 trailer - Man vs. Monster

Great trailer for the 1989 cult flick ARENA that pits a human in the world of intergalactic alien monster fighting. Think Rocky meets UFC meets Star Wars. More b-movie madness at foywonder.com

Man, I can't believe I forgot The Warriors. I quote something in that movie at least once every couple of months.

The Hunger Games trilogy will hopefully be very good.

My students just got me into this series. I finished it in two weeks.
It was a good set of books. The second was my favorite.

No love for Soylent Green? This is one of my favorites. Doesn't have all the glitter and special effects, but very dark, and the premise is....well, creepy. Edward G. Robinson's last film also.

"Warriors! come out and play!"
I always thought Warriors was more an alternative present than dystopian future, however

I haven't seen it in a long time, so I don't really remember how good it was, but did anybody mention Strange Days?
