100 Movies Create a Timeline of the Last Hundred Years

Whatever year you can name out of the last 100 years, there has been a movie that is set in that year, or at least covers it. YouTuber kaptainkristian (previously at Neatorama) found a movie that depicts each year between 1925 and 2025 and arranged them in chronological order. While some just evoke the era, most of them show us a familiar historical event that you've either experienced or have read about -and the ones that you lived through hit the hardest. Has it really been 36 years since the Berlin Wall fell? Every once in a while the year is displayed to help keep us straight. Toward the end, the movies move from historical to futuristic, as many classic science fiction stories are set in years that have already elapsed. There is a list of these movies at the YouTube page, because you might not have seen them all. -via Geeks Are Sexy
