I would probably start with the slaughterhouse scene in Fassbinder's In a Year With 13 Moons. If that doesn't put you off, you can continue on with the 1970 epic Waterloo

I soooo think the force needs to be used to take away a thread starting ability...

The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover

@rufnek ... Soyent Green is that the film where recycling occurs at a certain age?

Sorry, forgot to explain, I am having fancy people over for dinner and I need an equally fancy movie.

So play the one i mentioned ... what better a mix for fancy people than opera and canibalism

A fancy movie? Don't really know what you mean, if you want a pleasent movie thats easy to take and funny thats for sophisticatedish people: A Room With a View is a good one.

The Mayor and his wife are coming over, I need a movie with class, that's what I mean by fancy.

I think it would be better if you know what the Mayor likes. Do you? It all depends. Is this the mayor of San Francisco or Hooterville? I also need to know what time frame is acceptable Classy movies are often classic movies. Are those OK?

Ya know, I don't know...I'll ask his mistress.
Thanks.

So his wife is coming over, and you're going to ask his mistress what his fave film to watch is during/after his infidelity? Hey now, that IS classy.

When was the last time you took your meds?

Try:

I Once ate lamb and burped at the table...OMG!!!

or

Show an entire season of Gilligan's Island, and talk about how bad off the Howells are.

or

I am a Pompass arse and I like being told so.

What in the world is beef wellington? Is it tasty? Should I try it? Anyone got a recipe?

Where the funeral receptical is not a coffin but a meat grinder? Yes.

I just want to let everyone know that im pretty sure filmfreak is totally bullshitting us.

I'm not Ruf, but I will answer!

The film you are thinking of is:

Logan's Run (Anderson, 1976)

@Sedai ... No Logan's Run is similar thematically.

I know this because the name Soyent Green came up in a bar (Geee I love interesting pub talk that doesn't revolve around cars and sports) ... anyway I had heard the name but don't think I have seen it and when queried the theme was mentioned ... I guess it was a movie that dealt with the whole eco destruction caused by over population. I'm guessing late 70's when the term ZPG was being thrown about.

It was also mentioned that Soyent Green was the term for the nutient rich food that the population of this future world lived on.

EDIT ... just in case ... ZPG = Zero Population Growth
