I'm thinking about having a "Days of Future Past" party, showing various films that were set in the "Near Future" but made the unfortunate decision to pick a specific year - a year which has now passed. 2001 and 1984 are obvious choices, Transformers: The Movie (set in 2005) is another given. Hazier are the Terminator movies (because Judgement Day apparently happened in 1997, though the movies themselves are ostensibly "present") and Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Kahn (with the Eugenics Wars again set in the 1990s, though maybe the original series ep would be better for that)...

Here's the ones that have been suggested so far, you are invited to express a preference or make suggestions.

2001: A Space Odyssey2001
Terminator1997 (Judgement Day)
Transformers: The Movie2005

Escape from New York1997
Rollerball2005
Space Seed (ST:TOS ep)1992-96 (Eugenics Wars)

I have no plan for when this party would be. Though I have considered the possibility of setting a date, waiting until it's passed and then doing something else entirely.

Gareth has the hilarious Jean-Claude Van Damme movie 'Timecop' that begins 'In 1994, man discovered time travel'. The Future cars of the 80's are particularly funny?

I only bought it because Mia Sara is highly cute.
