Quoting:

Westworld

Agreed on both: I love Westworld, and used to find it hugely amusing that my first commercial software was written for a company whose building was called "Westworld" - I kept looking for out-of-control androids, but unfortunately, they were all in senior management ;-)

I'm also a huge fan of Harry Harrison, the SciFi author who wrote Make Room! Make Room! on which Soylent Green is based.  Like most films, it never quite measured up to the book, but it is one of the most thoughtful (and least Hollywood-mangled) SciFi films ever made.

On topic: I'd put the Rocky Horror Picture Show into this category...
