8. Wag the Dog
In a classic case of life imitating, this 1997 political satire black comedy film produced and directed by Barry Levinson and starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro could never have foreseen just how close to the bone their story really was. The plot follows a president embroiled in a sex scandal involving a young woman who, as a distraction, hires a movie producer to stage a phony war.
Amazingly, just one month after the release of the movie, the actual president at the time, Bill Clinton, became embroiled in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. After Clinton decided to bomb the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, people were quick to point out the comparisons. As a result, the movie that apparently had an outlandish and ridiculous premise was suddenly being hailed as one that had accurately predicted the future.
