I like the site. I think it's getting better.
Here are some movies I think you might want to add.. But you mentioned you wanted to add several movies so I hope at least most of these will make your list soon.
Aeon Flux (starring Charlize Theron)
The Island (since it's so similar to Blade Runner for its runaway clones, Logan's Run and THX 1138 for its "2 people escape from the secluded dystopian lab/mini-city)
Wall E (since you included Silent Running)
I, Robot
The Animatrix (I know it's not a full movie but rather chapters of the Matrix universe but have you seen the two chapters that basically chronicle how the machines take over and eventually create the Matrix? It's like the Terminator and the Matrix's untold history being revealed. It's also much like I, Robot!)
Renaissance (starring Danel Craig. Animated film. Definitely in the same genre as Blade Runner and Brazil-type films. Check it out. It's not great but worth watching.)
That's all I can think of for now.

Great! Thanks, I just added all of your suggestions.
And I definitely need to watch Renaissance and The Island.

THANKS for the consideration. I'm "anonymous33". Your adds were speedy! I thought of some more you might include. I think there are several films still left to touch on so this is by no means scraping at the bottom of the barrel... yet. Haha.
The Village (not sure if this qualifies since there are twists that narrow the scope of this dystopia to a small village)
Idiocracy (a comedy about the future where everyone is very stupid. The President is a wrestling superstar, the "fake", choreographed wrestling. The House of Representatives is now The House of Representin'!)
Pleasantville
Ultraviolet
Code 46

Excellent! I just added The Village, Pleasantville, Ultraviolet, and Code 46. Thanks, makavelighost.
I actually already had Idiocracy on the site. I thought the first half of that move was brilliant.
dystopia.com
I just saw Ultraviolet recently and thought it was pretty bad. :) The weird thing is that I loved Equilibrium which was similar (both by Kurt Wimmer, heavy on action, thin on plot)
Code 46 looks fantastic. I need to see that ASAP.

Yea I completely agree with you on Ultraviolet and Iodiocracy's opening half hour is great/hilarious. Any Futurama fan would enjoy at least that part of it but it does it less funny with watered down premises and laughs as it goes on. Code 46 received positive reviews, worth watching- haven't seen it but to anyone who likes Thx 1138, metropolis and equillibrium, Code 46 has very similar and often identical themes (minus the great action shootouts of the latter movie.
I will suggest more movies after I check if you have 'em up yet.
