Sci-fi movies in plausible chronological order

Here's what I've observed: some movie can follow from another movie because the events in movie1 can plausibly lead to the events in movie2.
For eg. - Terminator -> Matrix
In Terminator, machines rise up and become the superior race trying to eradicate humans. They probably succeed in proliferating over the world. In this process, as Matrix tells us, humans would try blocking out the sun to prevent the machines from getting their energy source and hence those machines come up with using humans as batteries and eventually the whole Matrix movie follows.


Here's another plausible flow of movies:

Iron Man -> I, Robot -> Terminator -> Matrix

1) Tony Stark comes up with a brilliant invention - a powerful, sturdy yet compact cyborg suit which has highly developed and interactive AI built into it. Then its just a matter of time that the suit is modified into an independent robot. Soon these robots are commercialized and I,Robot happens.
2) In I,Robot we see that the AI (V.I.K.I) evolves and becomes self-aware just like the AI in Cyberdyne systems in Terminator1. But alas, it is destroyed in the end. However, Sonny the unique robot, the Hero throughout the film, also has a capability to evolve coz he is highly human-like AND FREE, having free will! Whats more, in the end, Sonny sets out to FREE all other NS-5 robots. Isn't that exactly the beginning of a new superior race? It is bound to happen that among these 1000s of FREE robots, some would be aware that they are superior to the human race and become just like VIKI or Cyberdyne systems and hence Terminator follows.
3) Then as discussed earlier, Matrix follows.

Another possibility:

Iron Man -> I, Robot -> Bicentennial Man (with Sonny from I, Robot as the robot in this)

In I,Robot if at the end Sonny doesn't set free all the other robots, then he could be the robot in Bicentennial man - he has emotions, feelings, dreams just as in bicentennial man.
