"Intentionally Anachronistic" Movies
Films that intentionally mix elements from different time periods. This can be done for many reasons, including simply for laughs, as in Your Highness; or it can be used to create a world that is both similar and alien (Brazil); or the use of modern elements in an otherwise historical movie is used to point out this history is repeating itself today (Walker); or sometimes it is just purely for style (Moulin Rouge).
