You've never seen Brazil nor Clockwork Orange? I feel a movie night coming on... :)

You really should see both of these.

Pretty much anything on that list that you haven't seen, you need to see. Looks like the next few movie nights are set.

Yeah, CLockwork Orange you need to see. Stanley Kubrik, excellent director.

Same with Brazil, come on dude. I have the big 3 DVD edition.

Sleeper I can excuse, Its Woody Allen.

They Live is a great one, and THX 1138 has its merits. The updated version isn't too much different.

Soylent Green.. yeah.

I have to realize that I grew up with a number of these films...and that you're younger than me.

GITS is awesome, the series even more so. I love Shirow Masamune's Utopia/Distopia films. The good ones worry about humanity, what it means to be human, and why we are here. Plus it has robot girls.
