Gritty, near future films...

[Major Fubar 0]

Hi, I'm trying to compile a list of gritty/near future/dark future sci-fi films for a Multimedia project. This is what I've got so far:

Aliens (1,2,3,4)

Bladerunner

Dark Star

Enemy Mine

Event Horizon

Ghosts of Mars

Inseminoid

Outland

Saturn 3

Screamers

Silent Running

Soldier

Starship Troopers

Supernova

The Fifth Element

Total Recall

(By near future I mean no "transporters", "warp drives" or mysterious energy weapons, if you know what I'm getting at)

Any suggestions?

sounds fairly complete to me...

BTW i LOVE those kind of films

there are lots of crap ones you could mention i guess,

like 'Judge Dredd' for instance

thats sort of similar (and what a waste of a good film license)

and there are plenty of budget , 'dark future' films (mostly rip offs)

some good , some bad

ive seen tens or hundreds -but im damned if i can remember any of their names

[Longinius 1]

Gunhed

Cyborg

Nemesis

Hardware

Terminator

[Major Fubar 0]

Yes, Judge Dredd would fit very well (I didn't think it was quite as bad as most people did )

I just thought of another one: Hardware

[Longinius 1]

A Clockwork Orange

Matrix

Mad Max (not sure if it counts as scifi)

Predator

Wedlock

Split second

Blood of heroes

[WhoCares 0]

Good luck!

Metropolis

Gattaca

1984

[morbid 0]

You forgot robocop.

[KingBeast 0]

The Beast with a Million eyes?

[WhoCares 0]

Soylent Green

[John C Flett 0]

Strange Days ( Though its now actually set in the past ).

And I also enjoyed Judge Dredd.

Mad Max is 'gritty near future sci fi' as is 'The Road Warrior'

Mission to Mars would also sort of qualify, in a near future sci fi sort of way

Ack! Double Post. My bad!

What about "Brazil" (with Robert DeNiro and Michael Palin) or "Delicatessen" (french movie, it's from director Jean-Pierre Jeunet who also did "Alien 4" and "Amélie"). Good movies, dark future (well, the later one isn't really science fiction).

Dark City

That one might be a little more out there then what you're lookin for...Good movie though

Dark City...yeah, nice film. Weird, but good.

One more Rutger Hauer Film (besides Blade Runner):

Salute of the Jugger

Remember that one?

Cyborg 2087.

Does anyone remember the name of that android movie where this guy has a hot looking android (designed for pleasure) who breaks down and then he has to go find some spare parts? I believe the movie's name was something like 'Anna 276'. I can't remember what name and what number it was on the name and I really can't remember if it was a good movie or not.

No that's Pinocchio you're talking about...

Oh, and how about Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within

I know I know, its sound dorky cause the rpg counterpart, but I dont really play rpg's and I thought it was a pretty good flick. What's most impressive about it though is how real it looks. I think I was hearing that it took something like a year just to render it. Wow!

Did somebody already mention Pitch Black?

"One more Rutger Hauer Film (besides Blade Runner):

Allready mentioned. "Salute of the Jugger" = "Blood of Heroes".

I forgot one, "Steel Dawn" with Patrick Swayze.
