How could you forgot "SILENT RUNNING"?

    How about one of the most demonstrative cautionary tales ever told in movie format about the need to protect our enviroment? "SILENT RUNNING" was wholey concerned with man poluting the earth so much that the only way to preserve trees and plants is to launch them in spacefaring eco-domes in the hope of someday being able to repopulate the earth with them.

    From IMDB - "The loner crew member of a spaceship harbouring Earth's last nature reserves goes renegade when he is instructed to jettison his beloved forests and return home. Accompanied only by three robots, he ponders the fate of his last pocket of nature and the murders of his fellow crew members in this far-looking speculative film."

    I can't believe you included the pop-trash "Day After Tomorrow" (which I enjoyed as escapist action-adventure fare but didn't take seriously) or "Fire Down Below" or even "Happy Feet" when this Hugo-nominated film speaks much more clearly to what could go wrong if we human beings who inhabit this planet don't become more active in the care and conservation of our natural resources. Was your list solely based on which films made the most money?
