Well that changes weekly, but if I had to pick just one to be stranded on a desert island with it would be the original Robocop(1987) - just so much nostalgia personally but a really great satire ahead of it’s time.

Although next week, I might could say the hilarious meta mindfuck Adaptation. Peak Nic Cage, Spike Jonez and Charlie Kaufman - a really fun and wild ride and I love how self indulgent it is.

so one thing I never got when. I was watching robocop was the danger of having mega corporations owning public services. I never gave it a second thought, and liked robocop cause hey robot cop action πŸ˜ƒ

now we are living in a reality where billionaires and mega corporations own public services. it's scary

Robo Cop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers are sometimes seen as an unofficial trilogy of bad capitalism. They have the same director and some overlapping themes.
