Even using the animatronics system that they did, this was a far step ahead of anything at the time. Who would've thought you could've created dinosaurs that looked that lifelike back in 1993. For being able to not only make a completely smooth shape-shifting metallic robot (that kicks some serious ass) as well as having everyone believe Arnold really was the Terminator, they did a hell of job of setting the visual effects standards for many years to come. Timeless visual effects that stand up to even today's visual effects and CGI. A geek classic even today that fits into the "ahead of its time" category via unconventional methods, as there really are no major visual effects.

The first "hacker" movie of sorts that even played with a global thermonuclear war back in the early 80's. If you're a geek by any means this movie is a staple in your collection guaranteed. For 1982 what they were able to do and the funky 80's graphical backgrounds were an incredible visual achievement. It's been constantly referred to as the first CGI film that set the standards for all future CGI to come. I mean, this was 1977, and the technical achievements they pulled off are even amazing today. I'm sure everyone has seen the many making of featurettes showing their use of miniatures and other incredible gimmicks. No one ever imagined anything like that was capable back in 1977. That's the power of a good movie that's so ahead of its time it becomes real to everyone who watches it. Although when you think about this nowadays, it's not that amazing, but back in 1975, you'd be so scared that you wouldn't even go swimming. Jaws (1975)Ī giant mechanical shark and one of the first films to really become a blockbuster in Hollywood history. I still wonder even now how the heck they achieved weightlessness and those incredible set pieces all back in the late 60's. After Metropolis it was one of the biggest science fiction films up until Star Wars. You can't forget that 2001 was even before Star Wars. It shocked people with its chocolate blood and still scares the living daylights out of many today. It defined the genre and has since become an unforgettable horror classic. This film set the standard for every horror thriller to come after 1960. I know I forgot some, but read the comments below for all of the great suggestions - like Blade Runner and The Wizard of Oz! Psycho (1960) There are LOTS of great additions and suggestions for other movies that were ahead of their time in the comments. 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. I'm sure there were a couple I missed (it was tough not putting Blade Runner) that can still be recognized. It's not necessarily that their subject matter or content was not accepted until years later (like Napoleon Dynamite). Most of these became the staple for referencing great visual effects after they came out. These movies are judged as being ahead of their time primarily because of their technical and visual effects achievements. But of course there are some classics that also have to be mentioned as groundbreakers in their respective genres. It's no mistake that most of these are big budget action and/or science fiction films, and that's because those are the kind that take a step above and beyond with visual effects and more. In honor of the upcoming movie 300, which is poised to show you another example of a movie vastly ahead of its time, FS.net has put together a list of the top 12 movies in history that were ahead of their time.
