The film platform Collider has published a ranking of the 10 greatest dystopian films, in which first place went to "Blade Runner" (1982) by Ridley Scott, second to "Metropolis" (1927) by Fritz Lang, and third to "A Clockwork Orange" (1971) by Stanley Kubrick.
In the description for the list, the publication noted that dystopian films depict a society in a state of collapse, more intense than in real life. "As long as the situation in the world does not significantly improve, dystopian films will continue to seem relevant, alarming, and important," writes Collider. 
About "Blade Runner," the publication stated: "[The film] is brilliantly shot and acted, it has brilliant music, it is an absolute winner among films, going beyond the classics when it comes to science fiction cinema," noting the powerful influence of this work on filmmaking.
Full list:
  1. Blade Runner (1982, dir. Ridley Scott)
  2. Metropolis (1927, dir. Fritz Lang)
  3. A Clockwork Orange (1971, dir. Stanley Kubrick)

Context:
"Blade Runner" is noted by researchers as a turning point in the visual language of science fiction. Through neo-noir aesthetics—rainy cityscapes, neon lights, and perpetual darkness—the film created a visual code that would later inspire cyberpunk and entire generations of filmmakers.
"Metropolis" is regarded as a pioneer of the science fiction genre. Filmed in 1927 at Babelsberg Studios, Lang's movie depicts a dystopian future divided into two classes: the elite living in skyscrapers and the workers, whose underground world keeps the city running. Its message, expressed in the final title card—"The mediator between the Head and the Hands must be the Heart"—remains relevant for contemporary analysis of class conflicts. 
“A Clockwork Orange” by Kubrick explores themes of free will, government control, and violence in a dystopian future Britain. The film uses the constructed language “Nadsat” (a Russian-English slang) and provocative visual techniques to address the question: can the state be justified in depriving a person of freedom of choice for the sake of creating a perfect society?
The list also includes two animated films: "Akira" (1987) directed by Katsuhiro Otomo and "WALL·E" (2008) directed by Andrew Stanton, which highlights the versatility of the dystopian narrative in cinema.
According to Collider's definition, a dystopia differs from post-apocalypse in that in the former, order is implicitly imposed on society (even if despotic), whereas in the latter, order is completely destroyed and society is 100% collapsed. This distinction is critical for classifying films and understanding their political subtexts.
The release of the rating coincides with the growing audience interest in dystopian cinema—a genre that remains extremely relevant in the context of contemporary socio-political anxieties and climate challenges.
