I was expecting more choices from that trilogy after last round and Hentzau's comment.
Regardless, woot.

I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

Re: Cineplexity - Game 17
I'll go with Sin City.
I'm not exactly sure if it spans 10 years but she's a kid at the start and a stripper of some type at the end so... yeah.

Star Trek (2009)
The film opens with the birth of Kirk, plus old/young Spock, time traveling Romulans, etc.

The Time Machine (1960): When H.G. Wells takes the time machine to 1940, he discovers WWII airplanes are outside dropping bombs with anti-aircraft guns firing at them, and fires burning in the distance. When he travels further into the future, he destroys the Morlock underworld by burning it with a torch. As he and the Eloi climb out to escape, it's smoking badly.

Also, drunken Tom Donophan burns down his house, and there's some firing of guns going on in the movie.
