unrelated, but REPO MAN (1984) is an excellent film.

I watched it, and don't get all the fuss.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
Repo Men (2010) is even better.

In the future, beyond repossessing cars, why not also repossess artificial organ replacements?

That's not a very widely shared assessment.

Repo Man (1984): 98% on RT, average rating 8/10. Ebert 3/4. IMDB 6.9/10. 75% Metacritic.

Repo Men (2010): 22% RT, average rating 4.2/10. Ebert 2/4. IMDB 6.3/10. 32% Metacritic.

1984 had a lot of science fiction movies: The Terminator, Dune, The Last Starfighter, The Adventurers of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, Starman, Repo Man, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; Night of the Comet, The Philadelphia Experiment, 1984, The Ice Pirates, Supergirl, The Brother from Another Planet, NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind, Dreamscape, Firestarter, Electric Dreams, C.H.U.D, The Return of Godzilla, The Toxic Avenger, and more.

Repo! The Genetic Opera IMHO is even better with a similar premise.
