To be fair if I had a hand in the collection then Face Off and Big Trouble In Little China would be included in the collection hahahaI was gonna say Robocop until I saw everyone else's high-brow picks...

(Not part of the collection per se but they had Logan's Run up on their subscription site a few months ago)..
Lots of good stuff in this thread, Tarkovsky, etc. Masaki Kobayashi (Kwaidan, Human Condition) is another fave.
Fassbinder's The World on a Wire is also great if you want to see a 70s take on the ideas in the Matrix.

Interesting that they showed it. I got the impression that it was generally regarded as not very good.

Their streaming website sometimes organizes collections by other...criteria than good, so things like cultural or historical interest, or new visual techniques also qualify. This one was up as part of a 70s sci fi collection I think

Another fun movie, though I still like "Yojimbo" better. Utterly different in tone from the cowboy Western, "The Magnificent Seven," if I remember right.
