In particular, there seems to be a trend of dystopia (the opposite of perfect utopia) in these sci-fi, futuristic cult films. Perhaps they are only appreciated later or by a specific audience because of their distressing, yet somewhat realistic images of the future.

i think its easier for people to relate to dystopia compared to utopia because utopia is only an idea that exists in imagination as a comfort from reality, while dystopia is more like the reality we face every day, which is almost an odd comfort as well. the dark irony that is so constant in dystopia storylines allows people that moment of "yeah, i know how THAT goes" even in the most bizarre settings that utopia could never give..... something like that

yeah, definitely. which is also, i think, why it's so hard to watch/accept as a good story sometimes. because it's so close to home.
