Popular Mechanics has a fun countdown of the "10 Most Prophetic Sci-Fi Films Ever."
The writer, Erik Sofge, says:
They’re not necessarily the best movies—just the ones that got the science right, or will sometime soon.
In his list are the stand-bys of 2001, a Space Odyssey and Soylent Green. But also Short Circuit and Road Warrior.
And of the selection of Running Man, he says:
The movies that have the biggest cultural impact aren't necessarily the best ones. In fact, sometimes they're among the most embarrassing.
While I don't agree with all his choices (the purpose of '10 best' lists is to generate argument) he does make fairly good cases for his selections.
