"Here are some movies that I think share some aspect of the techno-social themes, darkness, and haunting Twilight Zone tone of Black Mirror. I imagine people who are into this kind of thing have already seen these, but I'll recommend just in case...\r\n\r\n\r\n<b>Safe</b> : 1995 Todd Haynes movie about a well-to-do woman who develops a sensitivity to various toxins and literally becomes allergic to the modern world.\r\n\r\n<b>Timecrimes</b>: a great, underrated, somewhat dark Spanish film from 2007  -- I don't want to give away anything, because there are so many twists and turns, but more people should see this!\r\n\r\n<b>The Experiment</b>: 2001 German film inspired by the real-life Stanford Prison Experiment, which studied power and vulnerability. Brutal.\r\n\r\n<b>La Cabina (The Telephone Box)</b>: an eerie 1970s Spanish short film available to view on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKkfGG9q32c\r\n\r\n<b>Videodrome</b> (Cronenberg): This is classic of weirdness. But hard to explain!  It's about media, violence, loss of identity. You just have to see it.\r\n\r\n<b>They Live</b>: Media messages are revealed to be coded commands, brainwashing the human race.  A little more...fun... than Black Mirror but bears some resonance! \r\n\r\n<b>Upstream Color</b> : I had mixed feelings about this, but Black Mirror fans might like it. It's a fragmented narrative about a couple of people who have both undergone a strange ordeals that messed with their memories & identities, then they meet each other and try to put the pieces back together.\r\n\r\n<b>Duel</b>: Very strange, low-budget early Spielberg film about a big-rig truck that starts terrorizing a random driver. \r\n\r\nof course most people will have already seen this, but <b>2001: A Space Odyssey</b> also comes to mind."
