Top 12 Movies in History That Were Ahead of Their Time
Good list of movies that were way ahead of their time when released. I’d have thrown Fight Club in there. At the end, he lists a few films released recently that he believes will be looked on as ahead of their time in years to come. And he says this after adding 300 to that list:
Yes, I’ve seen 300 and I’m already putting it here. Be ready to be blown away on March 9th.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
any excuse to mention 300

Irreversible.
It’s f*cked up, but way ahead of the game in terms of cinematography and style.
And yeah, I’m almost glad of all the 300 hype - it’s now so hyped it can’t possible deliver. So my expectations have dropped. Which is good because that means it will be amazing.
Unless i expect it to be.

I can understand the trouble of not putting “Blade Runner” in that list. Visually, thematically, and in every way possible, I think it defines what that list is all about.
I don’t see why “Fifth Element” was in it, though. It’s not just that it was a bit of a duff film, but I don’t think it was that influential. I can’t imagine anyone watching it and going, “Aaah! So that’s what the future is going to look like!”
kudos for including “Tron” and “Wargames” though.
