It's probably been 20 years since I saw Silent Running, but it seemed a bit more thoughtful than average.
For those who haven't seen it, it's about a future where the only remaining forests are in big greenhouses in space. Budget cuts dictate that the greenhouses be destroyed, which doesn't sit well with Bruce Dern's character.
