Silent Running (1972)
A slow, determined story of a man trying to save a biosphere containing the last of Earth's vegetation. It really stands or falls with Bruce Dern's performance, and he delivers. His isolated state brings to mind the first half of Moon or perhaps that of Crusoe, stranded on an island bereft of other people. And also MST3K, despite the fact that I've never actually seen an episode. I guess I link it to the fact that Joel too only had a couple of robots to talk to.
In this case, it leads to a more bitter sweet ending though. Still, it's a very good movie that has potential to be on my top 100 sci-fi nomination list.
