Some 60s/70s Speculative/Science Fiction films

Thanks, Mike and Robert, for the responses.

If I were to choose just one, then my vote would go to A Clockwork Orange (wished I hadn't missed the A in the poll option), but I love all of these (various ones I adore).

Regarding 2001, I find it to be a really beautifully composed film (a favourite of mine since I was a child -- I know many people find the film far too slow). If I were to choose just one scene, then it would be Frank Poole jogging around the centrifuge while shadow-boxing while passing the sleep chambers that resemble sarcophagi. That to me captured the loneliness of such a space mission well, and I found it to be a coldly beautiful scene. Music and image worked so well for me in the film. The framing in the film really appeals to me.

As for Soylent Green, I find overpopulation to be a really interesting theme, and it was quite a popular one in part due to the popularity of the book, The Population Bomb. One I considered listing on that topic (will if I do a second part) is called Z.P.G. (Zero Population Growth).

Almost all of these I saw as a child or teenager, but the most recent discovery (some years ago) of mine was A Boy and His Dog, which is a lesser known film on the list with a young Don Johnson. It was adapted from Harlan Ellison's work (he didn't care for how the film turned out). "Well, I'd certainly say she had marvelous judgment, Albert, if not particularly good taste."
