I frequently miss the point and perseverate on some miniscule tandum, but I admire how you'd rather be grouped with those who some look down upon than associated with someone you felt was immoral or unethical, but with greater status. But others could give you more pertinate feedback.

Same here, I love stories like that. The Ender series by Orson Scott Card (I'd count that as at least semi-dystopic), the story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Final Fantasy VII and Evangelion are some of my favorites. I actually found I didn't like some of the "classic" ones as much as I thought I would, but that might also be because I had to read them for school. ^^;

How about "We" by Zamyatin? AFAIK it was THE book which inspired Huxley and Orwell to write their dystopias (there are quite many parallels between "We" and "Brave New World").
This is also a new one for me - fabulous!!

I discovered quite a good dystopic movie on the weekend - and it's a comedy dystopia, which is a rare find.
Idiocracy - great movie.

(Apologies if these have been mentioned)
Good dystopian films include Brazil, Children of Men, and V for Vendetta (the graphic novel's better, though, in my opinion). Stephen King's The Stand (both the novel and the mini-series) is also good.
