Thumbs up Films Big Brother Fans Would Like!
Please post your own, and why you think BB fans in particular should enjoy them. Here are my recommendations:

House on Haunted Hill (1959)
A group of strangers have to spend a night alone in a haunted house and whoever survives until the morning wins $10,000.

The Truman Show (1998)
An insurance salesman is oblivious of the fact that his entire life is a TV show and his family members are mere actors. As he starts noticing things and uncovers the truth, he decides to escape.

1984 (1984)
In a futuristic world which is controlled by an omniscient leader, Big Brother, where free thoughts, feelings and expressions are a sin, Winston Smith commits the crime of falling in love with Julia.

Equilibrium (2002)
In a world where every form of human emotion is prohibited, Preston, an officer responsible for implementing the law, decides to revolt against it.

The Truman show and 1984 sound very similar from their descriptions.

1984 with John Hurt as the lead is a classic.

Fixed, although tbf 1984 needed a synopsis the least.

It is a decent film. I just can't believe that you've only just watched it. What you been doing for 24 years?

Today would have been Britain's greatest ever Film director, Alfred Hitchcock's 123rd birthday.

I'd add his classic film 'Rear Window' to your collection. The greatest voyeur film of all time.

Good suggestion and glad you liked The Truman Show, MTVN.

Any other suggestions?

The Voyeurs (2021)

Innocent curiosity turns into full-blown obsession when a young Montreal couple spy on their eccentric neighbours across the street.
