The Animated version of Orwells 'Animal Farm'
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time...

It's easy to go for sci-fi moves that seem to have some scary truth about them. Soylent Green always crops up in my head, not sure though how popular it was at the time. Charton Heston seemed to be in these type of films! Also Kevin Costner's Waterworld is an obvious one and that totally bombed when it came out. Rising sea levels will make it more true as time goes on. Blade runner also tanked at the box office on release but has gradually become more important over time although partly because of the directors cut.
Outside of sci-fi it's hard for me to think of any.

^^Good choice.

After recently rewatching the original Rollerball (1975) in some ways it was very perceptive about how world society might look in 2018... I first saw it on first release and wasn't overly impressed, but now 2018 is long since passed, it makes for an interesting 'what might have been' scenario. Surprisingly some aspects of it still look futuristic, tho some of the technology (e.g. punched cards and cassette tape) are somewhat dated.

Are there any old movies you have seen that weren't popular, but movies you believe will be much more popular (for whatever reason - which is another interesting sub-question).

If I had to pick one, it would be "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"... Where people are the ultimate spectacle. Maybe some will hear of this when Fonda passes away, or someone with enough popularity to mention it and compare it to the modern world. It's a movie that predates "Network", which is popular, so the possible association might help.
