I present to you the very real, very accurate, very complete timeline of our universe! From the edges of space and time to the moments that passed just out of the corner of your eye, these movies are proof that everything they document most certainly happened. If you don't remember it...how'd you miss all the action? What a boring life that must be.
Contributions and corrections are appreciated! (Shows and shorts, too.) Please include the title (love a link), the story's setting in time (the more exact the better, but at least the year for anything within a century of today; less precision needed the farther out the setting lies), and the source (i.e. dialogue, deductive process walk-through).
Submission rules:…

Submission rules:
1. A film must treat its baseline reality as a depiction of our own world.
2. There must be some on-screen or in-universe evidence for a year. Internal disagreement on dates doesn't disqualify a film, but the logic for why to favor one possible date over others must be provided - no splitting the difference here. No "present day = release year" either.
3. No documentaries/other "non-fiction", but "true stories" are OK since it's already a step removed from reality.
4. The following are accepted on a case-by-case basis:
a) Contemporary-set epics. With how crowded the near-present day is, the thought of placing modern figures' biopics and such alongside single points on the timeline is daunting.
b) Time travel. The course of history should be relatively unchanged by the movie for it to work here.
