Now that V for Vendetta and Idiocracy have essentially become documentaries, what other movies do you place in that camp? (beehaw.org)

Buildings aren't big enough for Blade Runner yet, and there's still a veneer of government control.

(ETA: No one's said it yet, but 1984 is so obvious that it wasn't worth mentioning.)

Man, we'd be so much better off if we lived in Idiocracy. Can you imagine living in a world where the people in charge were actually concerned about the well being of the people and actively sought out the smartest people they could find to try to solve the biggest problems society was facing, and then actually listened to what they said and followed their advice? That's basically a utopia compared to what we got.
