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!
Here's the complete list for anyone else who is interested. I added Logan's Run and Blade Runner cause the space-time continuum will be disrupted if they don't make the list.
1984
12 Monkeys
A Clockwork Orange
Akira
Alphaville
Arcadia of My Youth
Blade Runner
Brazil
Captain Harlock, Space Pirate
Children of Men
Cosmopolis
Dark City

Serenity (it's preferred, but not essential, that you watch the short TV series Firefly first)
