Top Ten Tuesdays

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Planet of the Apes (1968)
Escape from New York (1981)
Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior) (1981)
The War Game (1965)
Waterworld (1995)
Reign of Fire (2002)
Children of Men (2006)
Immortal (2004)
Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D (1966)
Logan's Run (1976)

Blade Runner would have been top, however i'm not really convinced it's a dystopian future. Just the future. The same goes for Gattaca, another which might have made my top 10.

2029 is the dystopian/post-apocalyptic future!

Spot the geek.

I just remember it being set in the present day as were all the first three.

Me too.

I have seen a few and have come to the conclusion that they're not really for me. I do like (and own) Akira though.

I just don't get the love for 12 Monkeys. I saw it at the cinema and the people who i saw it with loved it, not me though.

Same goes for Brazil. It's as though it's Gilliam therefore it's a classic.

This wasn't deliberately aimed at you Nos. Even though i quoted you. It's a general observation.

Great list with some interesting picks, just looked up Immortal having never heard of it and that certainly sounds interesting.

I class those as dystopian future films because they were set in the future which is, as far as our expectations are, a society which is either not functioning properly or is, in some way, less than ideal – the same would go for Soylent Green, 1984 or Fahrenheit 451.

You could post a top 1 then.

Oops, forgot you'd already posted it! Fine choices I can definitely agree with though

I'm sure that will never come up I know we have some fans here but not many. There are some anime films I like but never got much into any series.
