Top 12 Movies in History That Were Ahead of Their Time
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.

Superman Reboot To Have Darker Tone, Thanks To Batman’s Success
In over 70 years of shared comic history they’ve existed mostly as reluctant friends, memorably coming to blows on several occasions. The bottom line is that Superman doesn’t really like Batman at all, so it’s worth wondering how he’d feel now that he’s been saved by him.
Flush with the success of “The Dark Knight,” Warner Bros. has announced an ambitious slate of upcoming movies based on its DC Comics properties to be released within the next three years — notably a third Batman movie and a Superman reboot, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Announcement of the reboot — a complete reimagining along the lines of this year’s “The Incredible Hulk” — comes two years after director Bryan Singer failed to capture public imagination with a conflicted take on the Big Blue Boy Scout, and nearly two months after the gritty, nihilistic “The Dark Knight” opened to record-breaking numbers.
So how will Warner Bros. turn Superman around? By making him even darker, Warner Bros. Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov told the newspaper.

“Dark Knight” Script Answers Highly Debated Question: Did Harvey “Two-Face” Dent Live Or Die?
It’s already the second-highest-grossing movie of all time, a gigantic cultural juggernaut that will soon break $500 million domestically. If you haven’t seen “The Dark Knight” at least twice, well, you haven’t really seen it at all. And, yet, for some people, the ending of the latest Batman film is still a complete and utter mystery, especially regarding the fate of Harvey “Two-Face” Dent, the villain played with such delicious glee by Aaron Eckhart.
(Massive spoilers ahead if you’re one of the two cave-dwelling people in America who has yet to see “The Dark Knight.”)

Bernie Mac Honored By Samuel L. Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Chris Rock, Others At Chicago Memorial
Friends and family of late comedian Bernie Mac, who died on August 9 from complications due to pneumonia, came out to celebrate his life at a memorial service held at Chicago’s House of Hope on Saturday. Along with his family, his fellow “Kings of Comedy” — Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey and D.L. Hughley — shared their favorite memories of the 50-year-old.
Although it was a sad occasion, the Chicago Tribune reported that Cedric the Entertainer made sure the event was also as funny as the man himself. “This dude is a very, very popular guy,” he told the mourners. “You know y’all were like, ‘Let me get four tickets to the funeral!’ He’s still the hottest ticket in town!”
