Other films about Dystopic future/ societies?


Just curious if anyone else can recommend a film or book with similar tones? I know there are lots of bad attempts made by Hollywood, but can anyone recommend a good one please?

The ones that come to my mind off hand are:

Children of Men
The Road
Rollerball (1978)
Mad Max
Gattica

La Planete Sauvage AKA Fantastic Planet
City of lost children
Hobo with a shotgun
The man who fell to earth
Minority report
Pleasantville
Robocop
Silent Running
Total Recall
Videodrome

The Day the Earth Stood Still. Extremely relevant today.

A tv series would be, "The Knights of God" which was on UK tv in the late 1980's. There was a novelisation of it as well.

Jeez fuck - the covid era is as dystopic as it gets - these movies look like poor caricatures in comparison.
