Three times movies have predicted the future

There are so many movies out there set in the future, whether near or distant, that seem to have astounding technology as well as stunning revelations. However, how many of these things actually come to pass. Well, we’ve put together a list of three movies that have done an astounding job of predicting the future.


Bladerunner (1982)

Though we may not be driving hovercars or living with the rolling darkness, but one thing they got spot on was the giant billboards advertising foodstuffs with moving pictures projected onto them. When Bladerunner was made the jumbotron billboard wasn’t even running in Times Square of Piccadilly Circus.


The Cable Guy (1996)

As funny as this movie is, the rant at the end is where they really hit the mark. Carry’s rant “Soon every American home will integrate their television, phone and computer! Visit the Louvre on one channel, and watch female mud wrestling on another! You can do your shopping at home or play Mortal Kombat! In 1996 this all seemed far flung and virtually impossible, but over twenty years later we have exactly that.


Super Mario Bros. (1993)

The most chilling prediction of any movie, was the moment in Super Mario Bros. where the Twin Towers in New York City can be seen disintegrating while a plane creates a hole and flies through the right tower. Even now, that is still a hard one to watch.
