Satire, but increasingly true... Idiocracy (2006)
'Idiocracy' gets my vote as well.
“The Serial” came from a 1977 novel by Cyra McFadden. Published in a spiral binder. Relevant today.
Anyway, “Ring of Fire” (1960) with David Jannsen and Joyce Taylor. Local sheriff versus two bit punks. The forest fire with the old locomotive & cars evacuating the townspeople. After everyone is saved, the loco, the cars and the entire trestle crash into a huge ravine.
