Akira definitely fits into the category. Blade Runner's at a stretch probably.

Big lebowski for sure. Not sure about Fight Club or FMJ fitting in there. I'd say the movie would need a lot of "Who gives a fuck?" kinda attitude to fit the category.

In film

The defining contemporary portrayal of Nihilism as a central theme is arguably Fight Club, usually expressed by the antagonist's credo "It is only after we have lost everything that we are free to do anything." However, while the makers of the movie may have meant this to be nihilist, it references more closely the Existential belief that free will is infinite responsibility. The film describes the unnamed narrator's disillusionment with the search for meaning in consumerist emasculated society, and his subsequent Nietzschean reaction.

I was thinking about Blade Runner. But i think it is in the end.

Terminator is about a dystopian future, so yeah.

Mad Max is more post apocalyptic than dystopian, surely. Although, it probably fits into both categories.

I deleted loads of films from my list because I thought they were more post apocalyptic than dystopian, bu tI guess loads fall under both.

Yes. Thing is, post apocalyptic is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Mad Max. But it's dystopian, too, as it's not exactly utopian.

I think Mad Max II or III would be more dystopian than I. I mean those had proper societies.

Memento
Batman Begins
The Green Mile (though not particularlly good)


Most super heroes have an underlying element of tradegy about them, that's what their powers are born from.

as Spoony said, if you like movies like Eternal Sunshine or Being John Malkovich, you would enjoy it. Though I thought Gondry didn't do full justice to this one, he could have done better.
