* In Season 2 of the HBO version of ''Series/{{Perry Mason|2020}}'', set in the early 1930s, Brooks is trying to attract a Major League Baseball team to Los Angeles. He points out correctly that Los Angeles is more than big enough to support a team--in 1930, LA was already the fifth biggest city in the country and was bigger than many eastern cities with teams--and that a baseball team in LA will do great. Everyone thinks he's an idiot and there is no interest from MLB. He's completely correct, although it would be a quarter-century from this time setting before the Dodgers relocated to Los Angeles.

* In the 1983 French-Polish historical film ''Danton'', the title character predicts before being guillotined that the [[UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution Reign of Terror]] would collapse in three months. Technically, it took four, but close enough, right?
