Cocktail Party Chatter

screenshot from The Fifth Element, 1997, Dir. Luc BessonBefore you head off to your next cocktail party, take a look at Top 12 Movies in History That Were Ahead of Their Time to stock up on talking points. This highly debatable list from Alex Billington at FirstShowing.net identifies 12 movies "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."

Yeah . . . we can't believe Billington omitted Blade Runner (1982, Dir. Ridley Scott) either.
