The Fugitive Futurist is one of my favourite pieces of film. It's a simple idea but is as effective today as it was in the 1920s. The effects are still really good, especially the conversion of Tower Bridge into a monorail station. That is my favourite shot. It was a very experimental film at the time it was created using ideas and effects that portray visions of the future.
The film is posted on YouTube by the BFI (click player below)
