93.) THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (1999) - takes place/supposedly recorded in October 1994.  :bouncegiggle: Hey, I ain't proud!

haha appreciate the words of encouragement amigo  :thumbup:


Quote from: Rev. Powell on August 12, 2026, 08:16:29 AMZombie, are you thinking of a Jean Claude Van Damme movie?

nah this was something super trashy and obscure... don't think I have it any more. oh well

edit - searching around, and it's not THE APPLE (1980) , which is set in '94... this one was late-80s made iirc

Rev. Powell

Just a little too late for HOTEL RWANDA, unfortunately.

94. SUDDEN DEATH (JC Van Damme) Set during a (fictional) Stanley Cup finals in 1995.

This was not the JCVD movie I was referencing earlier. (Turns out I was wrong about that one ending in 1994).

Only one I can think of close to that date is:

95. Strange Days. Set in the last couple of days of 1999.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Rev. Powell

OK, since we're doing science fiction:

96. 2001: A Space Odyssey

Rev. Powell

Bump for someone else. Only 4 to go, and 25 years of recent history to work with.

Rev. Powell

Hate to go back-to-back, but we're so close and so we don't get stuck:

97. Spotlight (ends in January 2002)

We need three movies in 24 years, not including future-set sci-fi.

NOT including future set sci-fi? Well - I was delaying 'cause I had no good ideas prior to 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT. Is that okay for #98 or do we want a true story?

Alas, my next pick would be or would've been 2012, the atrocious yet amusing Mayan Apocalypse movie starring John Cusack.......

Rev. Powell

You can do future set sci-fi if you want, I was just pointing out we don't have to go past 2026. 2010 is the future passed. Let's call it

98: 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

Dr. Whom

I was also holding out for 2012, so

99 2012

The neutrinos are mutating!
"Once you get past a certain threshold, everyone's problems are the same: fortifying your island and hiding the heat signature from your fusion reactor."

Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! ... Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput.

Rev. Powell

100. The Wizard of the Kremlin (ends about 2019-2022, from what I read).

Thanks, this was a cool one for me! We can continue with future-set movies, if you know the dates they are set in. I have a few.
