Movies where the Future is now the past.

Only a few more years before The Terminator joins this list. Starting to think robots might do a better job of things.

In Terminator 2, Judgement Day was supposed to happen in 1997.

Escape from New York was also 1997. 
So was Predator 2. 

I have no clue what it was about that year that caught people's attention.

I was thinking about the date the Terminator is sent back, which is 2027. I guess there was some Millenial Fever going on about 1997 although why they picked that particular year I have no idea.

Maybe that was from one of the later sequels.  They changed the date a few times I believe.

FRANKENSTEIN 1970 looks a lot like 1958.
