1984

This movie adaptation of George Orwell's eerie, dystopian tale -- filmed during the year for which it's named -- follows the "reeducation" of two people who break the law in a totalitarian state by falling in love while Big Brother is watching. The film turned out to be Richard Burton's last, but it's also notable for its intriguing technique of shooting specific scenes from the novel on the exact dates they were specified in print.
