BeeR Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm a sucker for these things - just watched "The Time Traveller's Wife" which wasn't very good but IMO watchable. Others I could think of offhand: 12 Monkeys - overrated but worth the watch Terminators - first was great, 2d was too except for cheesy ending, 3d pathetic Time Machine (orig one) - not "great" but a solid effort...I actually liked the earlier parts of the movie the best before the whole fight-the-monsters thing kicked in. (The modern one pretty much blew) Star Trek, the one w/the whales - a little funny at times but mostly lame, like almost all the ST flicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 How about a classic... the Back to the Future trilogy? Not the best movies ever, or anything, but the first one in particular was pretty cool at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I love to catch a scene or two every one of the million times its been on TBS/TNT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Somewhere iIn Time. bit of a chick flick but I liked it and the movie theme music. Good call - that was Jane Seymore and Christopher Reeve, right? That was a good movie, even though a chick flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonorator Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 groundhog day plays with the fabric of time and is one of my favorite movies. the first terminator has to be my all time favorite time travel movie. pretty much a masterpiece with the exception of the 80's cop schtick. the first highlander deals more with immortality, but since it spans time, it sort of qualifies. i did not like any of the movie/tv versions that followed, but the first movie (with connery) rocked. memento was another that messed with time through a memory deficiency. very, very well done. i also enjoyed the original time machine movie. all sci-fi fans should see this. the butterfly effect was well done also. pretty intense stuff. and then there are two others of my all time favs - original planet of the apes and it's a wonderful life.

Footballjoe Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Stargate with Kurt Russell was pretty good. I also like the Back to the Future Trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thews40 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 groundhog day plays with the fabric of time and is one of my favorite movies. Agree. There is no real empirical paradox, because he gets stuck in the same time loop rather than going back in time. the first terminator has to be my all time favorite time travel movie. pretty much a masterpiece with the exception of the 80's cop schtick. Also agree, but the time travel stuff gets pretty cloudy. In the first one, not sure how many (27?) cops were killed. In the second one, Arnold blows the crap out of the cop cars, but aside from shooting the security guard in the knee doesn't kill any cops.

Pope Flick Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 WOW!! I was going to suggest trying to track down the French short film "Le Jetee" which is what "12 Monkeys" is based on. I was going to say it's very creepy and is more of a dissolving of black and white stills than an actual film. Still, I didn't expect to find the entire thing posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RvmJan17q8 27 minutes, worth the investment IMO...
