In honor of the upcoming movie 300, which is poised to show you
another example of a movie vastly ahead of its time, FS.net has put
together a list of the top 10 movies in history that were ahead of
their time. It's no mistake that most of these are big budget
action and/or science fiction films, and that's because those are
the kind that take a step above and beyond with visual effects and
more. But of course there are some classics that also have to be
mentioned as groundbreakers in their respective genres.
These movies are judged as being ahead of their time
primarily because of their technical and visual effects
achievements. Most of these became the staple for
referencing great visual effects after they came out. It's not
necessarily that their subject matter or content was not accepted
until years later (like Napoleon Dynamite).
I'm sure there were a couple I missed (it was tough not putting
Blade Runner) that can still be recognized. I invite any readers
who would like to voice their opinion to do so in the comments
below, but I'll stand firmly by these 12 as the greatest examples
of movies ahead of their time when they were released.
