    Default Films & Literature that best portrays a socialist/communist society?

    I wonder if there's any fictional films or literature that portrays a truly accurate vision of a communist/socialist society?

    Ursula Le Guin's "The Dispossesed" is always heralded as a true portrait of a modern anarchist society. Also H.G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, Kim Stanley Robinson are also noted. Chris Carlsson's After the Deluge is a novel of post-economic San Francisco. The classics are William Morris's novels, and Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward. Accurate is rather speculative, no?

    The first one that springs to mind is William Morris: News From Nowhere

    Not so sure about socialist society per say, but I always thought 'Reds' was a great movie.
