Ah man I loved Predestination. But then again I was in a very happy state of mind so that may have played a part, plus I'm also a huge fan of the original story .. which I'd recommend reading. Yes I love PI, Gattaca, Moon (different story but had a similar vibe to Silent Running) and Adaptation, but I've never got round to seeing Franklyn, Man from Earth so will look into those. These spring to mind as films I've enjoyed: The Fountain, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Cube, Into the wild, Cloud Atlas, The Thin Red Line, Apocalypse Now, Monsters and Shutter Island. I know what you mean about modern film, I think I've come to lower my expectations to a point where the average can stand out in a sea of sub mediocrity. I'm a huge fan of 70's cinema, a time when directors where experimenting with a new genre of freedom and Cinematography. I felt the Westworld series had multiple layers of depth and posed some really profound questions, excellent writing with many sublimal messages regarding the current state of humanity.

Yh i like all those movies Eternal sunshine is another Charlie Kaufman movie like Adaptation , the mans a genius. Shutter island is awesome reminds me of Angel Heart. I forgot that i also enjoyed other Nolan stuff other than Westworld I think they are great writers even the Batman Trilogy is decent but Interstellar and Inception really showed that cerebral movies can also be big box office. I agree certainly that the 70s was the golden era of cinema, effects were convincing but hadn't overtaken plot or subtext as priority. Deliverance, Badlands, Serpico, Godfather, Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, Clockwork Orange ..... theres a 70s grittiness in all these movies that i love.
