Don't agree with the ranking, but a very nice list.

I didn't know there was a film version of Death of Grass ('No Blade of Grass - 1970).

Good list, there's certainly plenty of films on it I've yet to see.
Not sure about the ranking either - I wouldn't have rated "Children of Men" so highly.

Two films I'd add to my own personal list -

Threads (1984) the BBC feature-length drama about nuclear attach and its aftermath:

and the 1998 Canadian film "Last Night" - which deserves to be better known.

Itś the only film I have ever been to see twice, on two consecutive days. Clearly struck a chord Wink

Thanks for that. I had not heard of half of those, not being much of a film buff. I watched Children of Men last night. Dystopian? Looked utopian to me. Wink

It didn't seem to have "The War Game" or "I am Legend" either (although I think it does include its predecessor).

I've only seen a few: Logan's Run, 1984, MMII, Total Recall, Soylent Green. I wouldn't mind seeing "Silent Running".

Another on the same theme: Seksmisja or Sexmission. Quite a humorous take on a world controlled by women, and very much a product of its time, early 80s Poland under Communism.
