A dystopia is the opposite of a utopia.
While there are more movies that fit that classification, I have chosen 75 movies that embody a dystopia. They are not in any particular order. I tried to include an image and summary for each, but it ended up taking longer than I cared to spend, so I stopped. If there are any that you think I missed, be sure to append them to the comments below. After many is a link to the Internet Movie Database ( IMDb ) and if there is not a link, then simply visit www.imdb.com and search for the movie. If I had something to say I added it, otherwise I am quoting the plot summary available at IMDb . Also, if there is a sequel I am only including one of the movies .

Reload Visual Studio and the annoying bar is removed. You should note that this may also disable your CSS intellisense. but who needs that?...

I have a Sony 505 eReader that I use to read a wide range of information on.
Shortly after my eReader purchase I download calibre for managing my documents. It seems that every couple of weeks there is a new version too. Each version does a good job of improving on the last. The program itself is quick, it is written in python. The interface is intuitive and has some nifty features. My favorite is that it can grab the contents of a site and quickly convert it to a format friendly to my Sony. Another nice feature is that it can easily convert books between formats. I encourage you to try it out if you have a reader or lots of books. It also has a built in viewer. Download here ....
