In Reply to: THX1138 is Lucas' best film (IMO, of course) nt posted by mvwine on July 09, 2003 at 07:26:47:
and one of the best SF films to come out of the USA, it owes a lot to Fritz Langs Metropolis, but is different enough to be interesting and was ahead of its time when released
I've always thought the simple, effective ending really made this
film

Hi Eric,
I also have this film on Good old Laserdisk.
The concept,Like you say is way ahead of the rubbish today.
as the basis for a T-4 script, not a high enough body count or quite enough explosions to keep an audience awake(!)
Soylent Green, Logans Run or Westworld remakes might fit the bill
Or the UK classic "the Space Vampires" aka "Life Force" based on a Colin Wilson yarn... same era, all very very "B"
Love 'em
