The other DrC and I just finished rewatching a classic 1993 Sylvester Stallone film, Demolition Man. DVR'ed off Starz, it is a cross between a Rambo shoot-'em-up and Fifth Element.
In addition to Stallone, it also stars Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bulloch. Sly looks young, fit, and doesn't sneer much. Ms. Bulloch never looked prettier and she's funny, too. Snipe has 'way too much fun playing Simon Phoenix, the arch-villain.
Demo Man is played for laughs, and mindless violence too, but as a fine-grained imagining of where our society might evolve given a series of calamities, there aren't many better. This is the film where all restaurants are Taco Bells, the hit music is late 20th century singing commercials, and prisoners are put into cryostorage. Oh, yeah, and people no longer exchange bodily fluids sexually or otherwise.
I'd forgotten how much fun Demolition Man is to watch; as light-hearted SF it resembles Fifth Element. DM is a good way to spend 2 hours.
