One of my very favorite genres, albeit fleeting, shared a world of what could be in a time of great technological change. The ideas illustrated how the marriage of technology and humanity would alter our future were both visionary and strangely poignant. These films captured lightning in a bottle and served as time capsules encapsulating a zeitgeist of the future. Even music at the time wrapped its arms tightly around the future, never being complacent to what has come before and only thinking of what will come. There was a great desire to be unique, to be bold, and to be different. These films chose to peer through time's veil and deliver us a taste of the future. Below is a list of my personal favorites.
