Except for maybe Psych Out - which also has Jack Nicholson as a Jerry Garcia-ish character, and snippets of a performance by Strawberry Alarm Clock, and maybe a few seconds of The Seeds, although I may be wrong on that last.
Agreed....Silent Running is ripe for remake. It never really landed in the original release and most of the current green movement generation probably has no idea it exists. Also, like Finch, you can get away with a pretty minimal cast...great for filming during COVID.
Dig out Joan Baez and Peter Schickele (PDQ Bach) to redo the soundtrack and you've got gold...
