What are some movies like the gattica?

I have seen a large number of good movies philosophical, eugenics, new world order type movies but fail to remember the names of them. I would like a list of good movies. Some that I can remember off the top of my head.

Blade runner
Running man
The matrix
Gattica
videodrone

"The Imposter" with Gary Senise is a good movie

I immediately thought of a movie called LOGAN'S RUN. Also SOILANT GREEN and 1984 might fit the bill. Basically I think the common thread amongst such movies is a society that has become creepily tyranical. Oh, one more I just thought of starring Christian Bale called EQUALIBRIUM (awesome movie! Awesome...check it out). Peace...

Here is a few
Madmax and friends
Johnny nunomnic
Deathrace 2000
Escape from newyork
One flew over the cucoos nest

Just a few off the top of the mind...I know i spelled Johnny's last name wrong.

I love these threads, i've been hunting down these films myself over the past month, heres a couple of the best ones i've seen that have yet to be mentioned:

Children Of Men

In 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer procreate, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea, where her child's birth may help scientists save the future of humankind.

imdb

Great film, touches on an interesting side to political activism that rarely gets seen in these types of films.

THX-1138

Set in the 25th century, the story centers around a man and a woman who rebel against their rigidly controlled society.

imdb

Solaris - 1972

The Solaris mission has established a base on a planet that appears to host some kind of intelligence..

imdb

That should keep you busy for a while, there is a remake of Solaris from 2002 but it misses the meaning of the 1972 film.

Heres a couple more of my head for you to search for;

12 monkeys
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas (a lot deeper than people seem to believe)
V for Vendetta
Brave New World

Notice on Children of Men,he is wearing a 2012 olympics T-shirt half way through the movie.

I can think of a few :

Melancholia (all of you planet X'ers should check this one out)
Perfect Sense
In Time
