If anyone has seen The Simpsons re: The Itchy and Scratchy Movie episode from LOOONG ago, they'd know that Homer mentions "mmm Soylent Green" at the end of that episode (when Bart has become a Supreme Court Judge).

But this is actually a movie, starring one of the all-time greats in Charlton Heston. Have you ever seen it ? One of the most bizarre movies of all time, a classic though. I thought Charlton Heston could never out-do the Omega Man (a story about the sole survivor of a post-apocalyptic world, where the survivors became vampire-like and he was the last normal human out there), but Mr Heston came close with this classic.

Wow ... such a strange and bizarre movie. Very close to the Omega Man ... this is why i rate Charlton Heston right up there in the best actors of all time. Truly amazing sh*te ... i bet they are hard to find at a normal video store though.

Trust me ... if you find Soylent Green or The Omega Man (the Simpsons also did a version of this too) then PLEASE .. see it !!

Trust me ...

One of my favourite movies! :) it used to be a regular on TV in the late 70's early 80's but I hadn't seen it since then. Got a copy on DVD recently though :D

Futurama are always ripping off these ones too.

Like in "The 40% Iron Chef" where the secret ingredient is Soylent Green

Great movies and Heston is a great actor. Crap human being, with his role in the NRA, but great actor.

Watch for the Omega Man re-make coming out in the next year or so. It will be called "I am Legend" using the title of the Richard Matheson novel on which Omega Man was based.

Love both movies, Heston sure did some great sci-fi movies, and some great bible movies, and some great disaster movies, done it all really.

"Soylent Green is people!"
