What are your favorite bleak, 70s sci-fi kinos? I'll start with the best of the Apes sequels.

I've always felt Colossus: The Forbin Project was kind of the spiritual brother to Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
> Same weird sparse Brutalist Architecture
> future full of turtle necks
> bleak as fuck

I'm actually not familiar with that one, so I'll have to look it up. But yeah, those turtle necks are essential.

Everyone knows "soylent meme is people!" but they forget that the rest of that movie is pure gold.

It's full of great stuff, but it would be worth watching for the euthanasia scene alone (spoilers):

The Simpsons parody of this scene was pretty good too:

Omega man
okay here's a few more 70s bleak. basically anything before 1978. Star Wars killed the genre
> Rollerball (1975)
not the awful remake.

> the Andromeda Strain
can't find the original trailer
> Death Race 2000
i'm tempted not to list because the satire undermines the bleak, but fuck it

I almost forgot THX-1138. It and Logan's Run might be the two most representative films in the genre for me.

I also dig The Andromeda Strain.
Make way, GOAT coming through.
