Boy, my list for this would be radically different now.  Mishima at #13?!  I don't really remember it well enough to have it Top 30 now. Plus, I don't think I'd seen any John Carpenter before this poll, so that would be more votes for Escape From New York and They Live and BIG (like Top 10, maybe even Top 5) votes for The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China.

I really hope this is the next revisit. There are a metric fuckton of 80s movies I am looking forward to seeing either for the first time or the first time in a long time.

Plus I get to indulge my franchise whore-ness.

I don't think I voted in that one, so I'd definitely be down for a re-up. I'd love to skew a few of those results! "Geez Jingus, you sure do LOVE grim dystopian sci-fi/action flicks about people killing each other..."

So you'll be throwing Le Dernier Combat a high vote? I got your back on that one.

It'd make the list, at least (neat movie, interesting pretensions, damn fine self-consciously-imposed handicaps; but its treatment of women bothered me a bit).  But I tend to lean more popcorn dystopia than artsy dystopia.  The 80s seemed like it was the first generation of new people who'd grown up with the idea that mutual nuclear incineration was just one of those things you had to put up with, like airplane food and trips to the dentist.  Before that, unbelievable horrors had mostly been portrayed as a gasping what-if that only showed up in the last reel.  In the 80s, we knew that serial killers were waiting just around the corner to rape and murder every one of us, and that's if the Reds didn't get us, and THAT'S if the ALIENS didn't get us, or the viruses, or the machines... and somehow it didn't feel strange.  We all just kinda expected "hey man, Jesus gonna be here, he gonna be here SOON" with a matter-of-fact nonchalance which in retrospect I find horrifically chilling.

As someone who actually came of age during those times, I can tell you that your perceptions are insightful, but shy of the mark. No one believed that the world would end in nuclear armageddon... Ronald W. Reagan saw to that!!!! It wasn't that it was matter-of- fact....it was largely a Hollywood reaction to the creeping Conservative movement they thought might swallow them whole, and,  of course, not without justification. The rest of us were all about parachute pants and Kool Moe Dee and Bruce Springsteen,Superstar( a good thing) and the like. We didn't

accept and embrace the Horrors of the World. Hell, we had just left the 70's fer chrissakes...talk about dark, dystopian periods in filmmaking!  And in the real world, sure we had the NATO Alliance and the Warsaw Pact and all that, but no one really believed it. Hell, the scariest thing about being a soldier in  (formally) West Germany in 1985  wasn't the Soviets that we trained to repel,  but the left wing  German citizens that bombed discos because they thought their girlfriends might be getting fucked by G.I.s of all races and descriptions. 

 

And the attraction of The Road Warrior wasn't some innate response to some perceivable future. Fuck no. It was about the "foreign" film style of an Australian film director who managed to make dudes who dressed like the Village People seem completely Bad-Ass, even as they took those stereotypes to places that the musical group couldn't have dreamed of. 

 

Moral of the story: Artsy,dystopia, generally  trumps your popcorn bullshit. But a taste is a flavor and I love popcorn as much as caviar.
