What's your favorite dystopian movie? - Blu-ray Forum

billypoe · 10-19-2009, 10:31 PM

I don't think this has been posted before (which I thought was crazy because this may be my favorite genre!) but I want to know what your favorite "dystopian" movie is.

It's gonna take a while for me to decide what my favorite one is, but can anyone tell me if Gregory Peck's movie ON THE BEACH is any good? I just heard about this movie today, and I thought it might be really good considering the material and the actor.

EDIT: The rules for dystopian movies are very broad. Anything from Aeon Flux to Redneck Zombies applies!!

EDIT: I changed the name from "post-apocalyptic" to "dystopian" so that movies like District 9 could apply.

Children of Men immediately comes to mind. Hopefully after seeing The Road next month I will be able to place it in this list, otherwise it will be a disappointment considering its source material. Nice idea for a thread, and yes, very broad.

Not sure what all falls and dont fall under this category but Ill say:

I' Robot
I Am legend
28 Weeks Later

Children of Men is another great.

dvd_mazter · 10-19-2009, 11:17 PM

28 Days Later, best horror movie I have ever seen, truly scary

Children of Men is a very close second

surfdude12 · 10-19-2009, 11:18 PM

Road Warrior.

Ok, The Road Warrior is my real favorite, but I wanted to be different.
