How to Train your Dragon
How to Train your Dragon

As with Donnie Darko, I haven't seen this, (I have read the books though).Here is the take on it from IMDB: "A hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons, becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed."

Marty McFly arrives in the Future
Marty McFly arrives in the Future

In the film "Back To The Future 2", Marty McFly travels forwards 30 years into the future to 2015. The exact time and date of his arrival is October 21st at 4:29pm Pacific time. For us in England that works out to be the 22nd at 0:29am. The future he finds himself in is vastly different to what we've actually got and this lends itself to the running joke of "Where's my [futuristic item]", usually a hoverboard as that was a key macguffin in this and the 3rd movie.
