THX 1138

In a future ruled by a totalitarian regime, technician THX 1138 leads a monotonous life, alternating between work and a government-administered drug regimen that the state uses to turn people into puppets. When THX goes without those drugs for the first time, he develops feelings for a woman, and they begin a secret relationship.

87/100 In a future society, where technology watches over every aspect of the human life and is totally void of humanity, roommates THX and LUH are arrested for the crime of drug evasion and physical love. This is essentially just a chase movie but I'm fascinated by the totally unique futuristic world that one is pulled into (and surprisingly not dated after 50 years) where even those moments of humor are quite serious and your entire knowledge of human existence is simply what you've been told. Genius film and a stunning debut for George Lucas. -- DrNostromo.com
