I found V for Vendetta not dystopian enough. To me it was just a derivative/watered down 1984. Except it promoted some view of anarchy being a good thing rather than pro-egalitarianism. It was hard to side with V or Evey or any of the anarchists. Perhaps it's just my lawful evil side?
Maybe I need to give it a second watch, I don't know. Reviewers seem to love it.

Personally I don’t like the movie, despite having never watched it, as it makes it impossible to commemorate the gunpowder plot being foiled without yanks derailing this important date

It’s an important date on the UK calendar, perhaps loosely equivalent to independence day (mandatory praz Will Smith). It’s the only day we really traditionally use fireworks, though recently they’ve crept into new years too.
I don’t like fireworks, too skittish, but it’s one of my favourite days despite that. Last bbq of the year and first hot spiced cider* or wine. Besides celebrating the survival of parliament**, to me it marks the start of deep winter, and the beginning to the run up of Christmas.
* in these parts cider is never soft.
** even if some years the lot in House of Common are so rotten the traitors seem a sympathetic cause.
