What's a movie that feels out of its era? Either ahead or behind of its time. Or movies that don't seem like they would've been made then (lemmy.world)

Agreed with all that, but still, don't forget how mind blowing it was in 1999. One of the only movies I ever saw twice in the theaters, two nights in a row even.

Even the trailers were wild. First time we saw one in the theater my gf and I looked at each other like, "What the fuck was that all about?!"

The Matrix was to science fiction in 1999 about what Star Wars was in 1977, so far ahead of the game it was like nothing before it.
