You should watch Solaris. It's a Russian sci-fi film from the 70s about a space station where weird things keep happening. Watched it last (?) year and it was pretty damn good. I heard there was a remake with Clooney, but I've never seen that one, so I can't comment.

Barbarella
Rollerball (the original, obviously)
TV series like The Prisoner and The Avengers might do it for you.

It was a tv series and I just saw a few episodes of it, but The Prisoner from the 60's definitely has this vibe.

Other good Carpenter films. He has a lot of listing can be hard to find:

Prince of Darkness
In the Mouth of Madness

(Also Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from NY, Escape from LA, Halloween, They Live, Assault on Precinct 13)

The Reanimator
Ticks (1993) - this is a 70s B-movie throwback you can tell from the poster

Rollerball is a must watch. Obviously the 70s version ignore the remake
