Brazil (1985)

The director did the animations in the Monty Python television show, I saw this purely due to that connection. It took a bit, but I still became drawn into the strange and impossibly rule-bound society of the future. Looking back on it through the veils of time, it's amazing how well thought out it is. 

Few images stick in my mind from that first viewing - the woman's impossibly huge truck, the scenes where he's flying (and fighting a monster, if I remember rightly) and his ever present repairman. It's interesting, in a right-frame-of-mind only sort of way.
