Wikipedia has lists of dystopian films and literature (linked here). While these lists are definitely a magnificent place to start in our search for dystopia, the choice of works included and not included are fascinating. For example, Wikipedia considers the Batman series to be dystopian, but it does not include A Clockwork Orange in its list of dystopian films.
What should we consider as truly dystopian? Or are there varying degrees?
To prime the pump for further discussion, I thought I would include a link to the film 1984, produced, ironically, in 1984, and based on George Orwell's book:
Enjoy!
