One of the most prescient pieces of dystopian fiction, wrapped in a wholesome veneer. Like Idiocracy, it's hard to watch this film today without being viscerally horrified at how prophetic it's turned out to be. OW MY BALLS! could legit be a huge series nowadays, and frankly it would still be more worthwhile than lots of other content out there.
Children of Men, I feel, hews closest to the dystopia we are most headed towards... Even more than Wall-E or something like Brave New World... Also Momo by Michael Ende (who wrote Neverending Story) - that's pretty prescient, too...
But yeah, somewhat unexpectedly, I think Children of Men is where we are headed. Although I don't think even the filmmakers (was it Cuaron?) predicted that we would deliberately stop having children, even before the unintentional fertility crisis kicked in...

Hits all the points, that movie does.
