Period Dramas-Pre historic
This is a list of movies or/and mini series set in prehistoric age.
Sadly there are not many films which deplict this era. Though there are a number of movies, where a prehistoric world is found or people go back or forward in time. The only one I've listed in this list which is fashioned like this is 2001:A space odyessey.
For those who are serious about Period Dramas and deem a movie/mini series worthy to be listed, add your comments.
