The Purge.

The Forever Purge was Garbage though. My favourite Purge movie was Election Year.

I googled the word dystopian and I still don't know what that means.

Escape from New York

Handmaids Tale

Edit: Whoops, I dunno how tf I ended up in this post. It's so old. My bad.


Idiocracy

Red Dwarf

If you're looking for something more substantial, and have a decent grasp on science fiction, I'd recommend [b]Altered Carbon[/b]. It doesn't really hold anyone's hand, but it's worth the watch.

There's a bunch I could list, but these would be 3 I think most people could enjoy.

The Clockwork Orange
1984
Metropolis

I have seen all of these on youtube.
Metropolis is a silent, black and white movie.
It's' an interesting movie and if you view it in the era it was made, it was ahead of its time in prdocution quaity and vision.

BREAKING BAD

I know it's not sci fi , but as a reflection of the American Dream and American Culture , I think it fits the bill of Dystopian .. Although it also follows path of Homers Odyssey somewhat .. There is a lot of layers there ..

Anyhow you can see , its my fave . .

Barbie

1984 the movie comes to mind. For the longest time I had a crush on the girl that played Julia. With that hairstyle she had that whole alternative music look going on.

The Warriors

Soylent Green, Planet of the Apes. A book called One Second After is a great story about failing society.

Old post but saw it in the feed.

I don't like dystopian movies but I would suggest "Brazil", starring Jonathan Pryce and Robert De Niro. It was suggested to me by a professor for a school report for my Journalism course when I was at Uni.

Also the movie " V for Vendetta".

"A Scanner Darkly"

"Children Of Men"

Brave New World

Yhe Warriors

I recently watched cloud atlas, and I feel that I need to read the book in order to get the full effect of the story

The original Twilight Zone episode, The Obsolete Man with Burgess Meredith.

Mad Max and Bladerunner.

I could mention more but they are the the best.

The Time Machine '65 (?)
Logans Run

Jericho S01
(dont watch S02!!)

Logan's Run was both a movie and a tv series in the latter mid 70's. Amazon Prime video has both available to rent.

American 2020 evening news

V for vendetta

Okay, I realise this post is forever years old, but also I'm a bit of a rogue...not sure if you would count it, but Akira is the best film for it. Also 12 Monkeys. And Dawn of the Dead (totally doesn't count, but I'm pimping it regardless). And Dredd, because that was just too exciting and awesome to not plug. Did you find any good ones out of this posting?

Black Mirror's the one that immediately comes to mind.

Logan’s run.

Dark City! :)

Brazil.

I prefer utopias. Dystopias are becoming too real these days. Just walk outside your door for a dystopia. lol Sadly instead of learning from them I think they just influence people.

I was forced to read several dystopias 2 years ago. It was major depression with how real they have predicted things to get.

I’m a big fan of 70’s dystopian movies like Soylent Green, Logan’s Run, and The Omega Man, which are all currently on Amazon Prime.

Blade Runner and A Clockwork Orange were my favorites. You can probably stream those on Amazon

ALSO I found HIGH-RISE on HULU, very interesting it's got a GR8 feel to it, placing "old fashion" objects in a New World kindda way. lol if that makes sense! 🤩

Fringe (old tv show),The Prisoner (very old tv show)

It’s a movie that never got produced because the director and his family were silenced oh I mean murder suicide. The unfinished movie is called “The Grey State”.
This is the documentary based on it all, and what they described as the plot of the movie is a scary future that could await all of us, I even had nightmares about that future for so many years.

Mad Max Fury Road.

1984 and The Handmaid's tail are excellent novels.

I always wondered why the CIA killed the creator of this movie before it got the chance to finish. Otherwise this would potentially be a favourite if it ever got produced. Because this movie may become a true story one day if we allow it to happen.

Apocalypse Now

Here’s a YouTube mockumentary That would really make you shit bricks shaking. No movie has ever scared me until I came across this. It even introduced itself with graphic content warning.

I really enjoyed Altered Carbon recently. If you like your dystopias sexy, violent, and complicated; this is the show for you!

I wouldn't call it my favorite but The Brother From Another Planetcomes to mind. It's a John Sayles film from the 80s. It's not quite dystopian but it's an interesting film.

1984

Psycho Pass... Probably Hulu has it or you can stream it for free with commercials on vrv..

Bronx Warriors trilogy, i've just heard of it, some sleazy Italian exploitation thing...:)

“The Alienist” recently

"the road" it was on Netflix
