Movies like Gattaca
 

Hi Everyone,

I'm on a kick where I feel this compulsion to watch really good sci-fi dystopia. I'm looking for great "high concept" movies that put the shivers down your spine, and preferably showcase an individual battling the system.

Here's a partial list of the type of films I'm talking about, with two by Andrew Niccol leading:

Gattaca
In Time
Never Let Me Go
Soylent Green
The Island

Anybody else like the above? Please post your other similar faves in this genre!

Wow, thanks everyone! Alphaville is one of my all-time favorites, as is Fahrenheit 451; I loved the Moon too.

However, most of these I haven't seen yet, so I'm going through and deciding which one to try tonight!
