Flashforward & Flashback = F: Blogging from A to Z

Wouldn't it have been cool for F to fall on Friday? But, alas, it's fantastic to discuss F on Saturday.

My whole life I've either had a book or a pen in my hand. I can remember staying up to all hours with a flashlight and a book, my parents constantly stopping by to beg me to put the book down and get some sleep.

When I close my eyes, I can see the cover of one of my... by New York Times bestselling author, Tia Silverthorne Bach. 

Just a quick flashback and flashforward based on my life.

Flashback
(from The Free Dictionary.com)
A literary or cinematic device in which an earlier event is inserted into the normal chronological order of a narrative.

Flashforward
(from The Free Dictionary.com)
A literary or cinematic device in which the chronological sequence of events is interrupted by the interjection of a future event.

Both of these tools, if timed well, can add a lot to a story. However, they can easily throw the reader for a loop if not properly presented. Nothing is worse than reading a story that goes back and forth without giving readers time to adjust or even know where they are.

One of the best examples of well-done flashbacks I've read recently... Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. (my review is here ) In Winter Garden, Kristin Hannah weaved past and present into an intricate and gut-wrenching tale. 

Flashforward is another beast altogether. Where flashbacks are most often used to grow characters, flashforwards tend to build story by predicting what might happen. Or what really will happen in the case of time travel. 

What's your favorite example of either flashforwards or flashbacks in either a book, movie, or television series?

Also, if you could flashforward into your future, what might you see?
