I recommend it ! It personifies being isolated.

‘Isolated’ lol

I wonder why you disease-ridden diaper 😆

reply

Keep wondering and habitually isolating yourself in your garage with your booze, phone and techno bitch, Alexa. Does she keep you warm in there?

reply

My Alexa device is a ‘bitch?’
Why, because Alexa is a female name?
No wonder you are aging and dying alone, nice attitude towards females you dickweed.

The Rapture and Silent Running

reply

The Rapture from 1991?

reply

yep... but this answer would only make sense if you saw the entire film.

The Road is also good for this... and the Andromeda Strain

reply

Great films. Moon was trippy.
I would add: The Martian.

reply

Oh yeah, I watched the martian, it was pretty good!

reply

Yes. I rarely like a movie if Ive read the book first, but The Martian was an exception.

reply

The Martian was great. Definitely a good isolation theme; can't get much more alone than being stranded on Mars and having to grow your potatoes!

2013's Gravity.

Open Water

So obvious, they both completely escaped my mind. And I saw and liked both.

Poor Wilson. 🏐😭

Oh, and the original Cast Away... Robinson Crusoe.

reply

Potentially I would agree with "Castaway", but then it turned into a big infomercial for FedEx. Quite frustrating with their corporate logo continually on-screen.

My vote is for:
* Gravity
* The Good Earth

reply

I'm still unsure if it's an infomercial for FedEx or Wilson.

Passengers

😛.

reply

Yeah, I really felt bad for him and the way he was treated.

reply

Worth watching. My favorite is Solaris, but someone already wrote it, so I had to come up with a movie that nobody mentioned so far.

reply

reply

Original.

No way, lol 😜

Clooney version was memorable only for Clooney's butt being shown.

How can you have forgotten what a beautiful sondtrack it had though? It's on my list of favourites.
