There were 3 different kinds: yellow, red and green. The former of which was only released just prior to the action of the plot.

Yeah, Yelley, I blame the fact that they were really trying to get the audience to really catch onto just how screwed the planet and setting was. When you combine that with the meandering style of shooting that was common in the '70s in general, you end up with some ridiculously long movies. I mean, hell, did you guys know that the original Rollerball was over 2 hours? Same issues; long, virtually silent scenes, an emphasis on evil corporations all punctuated by the use of shock value to further the movie's message. Then again, the '02 remake of Rollerball is a half hour shorter but apparently features one of the the guys from American Pie avenging LL Cool J, so you win some, you lose some.

:wumpscut: - Soylent Green
I've never actually seen Soylent Green, but I have read the book it's based on (Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison).
The fun thing to do with this thread would be to post spoilers to movies without mentioning the movie and see how many people pick up on it. Or maybe that wouldn't be fun at all!
The man he sees die at the start as a kid is actually himself from the future.
His girlfriend becomes a hooker, his mother goes insane, his best friend rots in some hell-hole Texan jail and he gets his arm sawn off. Say no to drugs.
The ballet school is run by witches.
The visions of his dead daughter are premonitions of his own death.
Everyone dies on a raft full of monkeys.
Everyone dies, but they manage to turn the sun back on.

12 monkeys, Requiem for a Dream, Suspiria. The last one you mentioned I know of, but can't remember the title.
