We had to read 1984 in school (English first foreign language).
If you're after classic dystopian movies and things, I'd also recommend:
- A Clockwork Orange (1971)
- Soilent Green (1973 ?)
- The Time Machine (1960 movie)
- Metropolis (1927)
I find Metropolis a MUST. Try to get a copy of the long version found several years ago in Argentina.
Possibly many more I don't have in mind right now. All can be cheap DVDs, they're not exactly HD. But I guarantee that all of the above will leave a lasting impression.
