Time-Travel Films
 

Lately Ive been right into Time-Travel. Any suggestions of good films?

I friggin LOVE the Back to the Future trilogy, and Ive been trying to get ahold of Time After Time, which looks amazing. Terminator is good...hows about some more?

Returner
the visitors (or the french origional) - comedy
timecop :p (guilty pleasure)
Timescape - jeff daniels .. low budget - but good
Star Trek IV - the voyage home

and yeah .. Time after Time is the best.

Time Bandits is a classic.:D

The only Time-Travel film I can think of at the moment is Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure... :eek:

What about Kate & Leopold?
;)

Reccomended -
The Jacket
12 Monkeys
The One - Although it's more about dimensional travel.
The Butterfly effect, again only "kinda" a time travel movie. The directors cut was interesting, but I think the original had a far better ending.

Agreed on
*Les Visiteurs - the french version is far funnier, better storyline too...also a sequal I've never seen.
*Returner - Excellent.

Cube 2 - Hypercube has some weird fucked up time displacement goin' on, but it's not great.

The thirteenth Floor...has...kinda simulated "times"...not really time travel going on though...fuck, I dunno...it's an interesting film all the same.

Thrill-Seekers was a great idea...they should've done it with a bigger budget, slightly better writing, and people that can act, but it was interesting, and an at least decent time-travel related story, and concepts.

I can probably think of more...

The Final Countdown

The Butterfly Effect(As much as I dislike "Ashton" this was a decent flick)

The Philadelphia Experiment

Somewhere in Time(sappy love story,but good)

Flight of the Navigator(80's nostalgia)

Of coarse you can't talk time travel and not mention "Dr.Who"...there's a wealth of good viewing there(Tom Baker),I would go with "Pyramids of Mars" first.

Avoid The "Sound Of Thunder" at all costs,I think it stinks.

The rest of these suggestions(all other posts) are all really solid too.

the original Planet of the Apes

i forgot another classic : Slaughterhouse 5

great film..

Of course The Time Machine original and remake.. I dont think I saw those listed

12 Monkeys has to be my favorite time travel movie.

Trancers 1-6. I haven't seen them but I want to.

Donnie Darko.

Sphere (kind of.......)

Ahh...time travel films...a favorite of mine as well. Looks like all the good ones have been mentioned. I can only add "Frequency".

Austin Powers 2
Army of Darkness


Does Groundhog day count? That was a good one too.

Cant believe I forgot that one in the first place, great film.

Agreed. This is a must for any time travel collection.

Peggy Sue Got Married

Future Cop

Check out:

Timeline - Good flick

that makes you the first person i've heard say it was good :)


i thought it was atrocious myself ...

I liked it...wasnt great, but not bad for mindless entertainment.

read the book - then tell me what you think ...

Retroactive, with James Belushi and that porn star in it is lots of fun.

me too ...hard to get...sounds cool Time After Time (1979)


..and how can you guys forget Back to the Future ?

...maybe you can call "Stargate" a time travel movie

Re: Re: Time-Travel Films
 

Back to the Future was named in the first post.

and stargate was space travel .. wasnt it ?

i guess arguably all space travel is time travel..

..he he I didnt see....


:rolleyes: maybe.....

You should definitely watch Primer. It's probably the best hard science fiction film I've ever seen. By "hard" SF I mean science fiction that deals with complicated concepts and ideas, not dumbed down for mass consumption like most Hollywood SF.

I'm probably a bit on the bias side. I collect medieval Weaponry and armor and attend "renn fairs":)

Then George Romero's "Knightriders" is a must see.

i enjoy both film an novels about that period of time .. Arhurian legend mostly .. which is why this particular film was such a dissapointment..

you wont catch me at those fairs though - no matter how much cleavage is slinging around :p

Hammerfan goes to those things as well i believe...
