Adam is the real deal. Ive enjoyed him ever since he took Amanda and Sean to task on the Big Picture, not that they deserved it but enjoyed the verbal conflict

[@chrischancellor7372]

Great work, Adam. Always love your stuff.

[@RunningP123456]

Adam woke up

[@teachershane]

Great list, Children if men is my favorite of the list. Id love an addon that gives some good lesser known options.

[@SpencerBlues]

There were a lot that I hadn't heard of, but it's not like I'm itching to watch a low-budget 1970s Stallone/Carradine vehicle

[@exprezzion]

"BIff's 1984" is my go-to dystopia.

[@Tigertown84]

Great list. I would only add Blade Runner, Akira, The Matrix.

[@stephenlester1273]

This is very good content! A couple of other ideas A Clockwork Orange Gattaca Eraserhead Moon I think you mentioned OG Rollerball, but it merits re-mentioning 1984 is a bit obvious, but Richard Burton and John Hurt on screen (and a Eurythmics soundtrack) will always slap

[@highschoolbigshot]

Brazil should be on here

[@AsianGreatness]

Children of Men is mad good great pick

[@TheCoryKay]

Wasn’t familiar with Escape From New York and didn’t know the connection to the Metal Gear Solid franchise

[@OPTIMUS6LTR]

no Mad Max?

[@laikmiandu]

nice

[@ohdannyboy432]

Zardoz! That is one weird ass film.

[@NoName-cn3cp]

If "The Road" is not on here I will lose my ish. *Edit- I didn't lose my ish, and Children of Men was an added bonus lol

[@MrOctober44]

You reference Mad Max several times but never do Mad Max? Still haven't forgiven Mel I guess

[@PatrickBoberg]

Brazil. No list is perfect, but this film is perfection. Terrifying, stupid, hilarious, and heartbreaking. Once the Capitolism wins total victory the only thing remaining will be a bureaucracy of idiots and assholes.

[@samuelburridge6642]

[@lazarusjambon1288]
