Soylent Green (1973) - one of the great science fiction films from the early 1970's, it is a dystopian vision of an over populated and polluted future, on the brink of collapse.

The Third Man (Black and White 1949) - a wonderful example of British film noir at its very finest - it is the photography, the lighting, and the wonderful scenery of post-war Vienna which defines the film. Solid acting across the board.
