13 - Soylent Green (1973)

I think most people are at least familiar with the title of this film if nothing else. The premise is simple: humanity has severely overpopulated the Earth, and the Soylent company provides food products that resemble Kraft Singles, with their newest, abundant product being Soylent Green (there's Brown, Yellow, etc.). We follow Charlton Heston's character, a detective who's investigations are causing trouble.

One of the things I like about this film is the interaction between the skeptical protag and his friend who remembers how the Earth used to be, and is depressed because of how far things have deteriorated. He tells Heson's character about greenery, animals, and fresh food and the protag doesn't believe him.

When you see a montage of famous movie scenes, the final scene from Soylent Green is often in it, though I won't quote it since that would spoil things. ;)
