Dystopia, Or Bust!

[The Poet]

A buddy of mine e-mailed this link to "The Top 50 Dystopian Movies Of All Time". No doubt one could quibble, or add more to it, but I found it remarkable that, of the 50, I own DVDs of at least 22 of them. Furthermore, a few others - like Brazil and, especially, A Boy And His Dog, are on my wish list.

Hope you enjoy looking for your favorite dysfunctional future. :D

Soylent Green and Silent Running are 2 of my all-time favorites as well as the original Planet of the Apes.

You're most welcome. And, as I indicated above, I'd suggest the twisted love story of A Boy And His Dog . . . even if you detest Don Johnson. Every guy seems to love this flick, and every woman hate it. :r
