How should i make a film that will stay relevant for eternity?

Question

I'm thinking about concepts regarding infinite possibilities of the future, how traditional science fiction falls short of realizing the future/ or over glamorizes elements. To convey how (technological) fantasy becomes reality. How could I portray the sense of constant evolution and sense of wonder in terms of recognizing present and future technological advancements and recognizing how we as people change with it; a self reflection of society where a lifetime could represent the rise and fall of an entire technological period.

Open to all (multiple)genres, though science fiction would be the preferred example.

Thanks. In hope of constructive feedback and ideas.

Formula:
Take 10% of Star Trek melodrama (ORIGINAL Trek)
         30% of Star Wars action (Cut Stormtroopers; useless)
         20% of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 
          30% William Shakespeare (romance and intrigue)
And    10%  Woody Allen (at his most angst-ridden)

That's enough for before breakfast. Good Luck.

I think films that capture the essence of a place and time will always be relevant. For example Sixteen Candles or The Breakfast Club, because as movies they are a very good facsimile of what it was to be a high school age kid in the 80's.

Don't try to make a move that replicates the 80's as newer moves based on the 80' just do not accurately capture the essence of the 80's. Make a movie that is relevant to society today and you will have a better chance of it being relevant far into the future.

STAR WARS,i havent seen all the parts but i still enjoy it.take a theme,like humans on earth are being controlled by aliens but they dont realize but later on more research one person discovers it,something like that.this movie must start with the theme slowly and become direct later one.so you have to make a series of movies like a sequel,and every time some one sees it they must feel excited and be caught between reality and the fantasy
