WTF is this trend and Why am I seeing it everywhere in my TL?

What's the best movie you've seen that is set in a 'dystopian' society?

'Orson Welles was a fantastic director. One film I was not so fond of is the Kafka film. Because my theory is that there is so much Kafka in Orson Welles before he makes Kafka, so when these two are on top of each other it becomes too much.'

--- Lars Von Trier

'Unfulfilled romantic yearning is the grandest and most monumental of cinematic emotions. These are the films that really stay with you—'Casablanca' (1941), 'Titanic' (1997), & of course Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love' (2000)'

--- Isabel Sandoval

'The film that took me on a ride into the unknown in the most irresistible and disturbing way, and still continues to haunt me, is David Lynch's 'Mulholland Drive' (2001).'

--- Pawel Pawlikowski

What is the most quotable movie you've ever seen?

My pick:

Casablanca (1942)
Director: Michael Curtiz

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968, Leone)

'My life, my reading, everything about me revolves around the cinema. So for me, cinema is life, and vice-versa.'

--- Sergio Leone

The Big Lebowski (1998)
Directors: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

Night Train (1959)
Director: Jerzy Kawalerowicz
