Movies that feel likeSexmission (1984)

Two scientists are chosen as guinea pigs for a time experiment: they are placed in hibernation and should be brought back to life after three years. In the meantime, however, World War III breaks out and life has been wiped off the surface of Earth. When they wake up, it turns out that not only 50 years have passed but also that they are the only living specimens of the male sex in a new, underground society composed exclusively of women.

If you loved Sexmission, the closest films we have are Kin-dza-dza! (1986), A Boy and His Dog (1975) and The Bed Sitting Room (1969). All three share Sexmission's cerebral and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Testament (1983).
