Other than SOMEWHERE IN TIME, TIME AFTER TIME, and the BACK TO THE FUTURE series does anyone have any other favorite time travel films?
I would also add PORTRAIT OF JENNY, 12 MONKEYS, and THE TWO WORLDS OF JENNIE LOGAN.
I have a pretty good list of time travel books, with Jack Finney's being at the top, but time travel films seem harder to find.
Thanks!
"IS IT YOU?" -Elise MacKenna
I loved "Time and Again" by Jack Finney. Years ago I called him on the phone, he was listed in the phone book. Early 1990s. I didn't talk to him but I did talk to his wife and she said Universal owned the rights and it was once a project Robert Redford was interested in.
It's never been filmed that I know of.
You called Jack Finney? I think I'm going to die! He's my favorite fantasy author... who would have thought to look him up in the phone book!? But come to think of it, it sounds like a plot of one of his stories... simple and obvious!
Thanks for sharing this story.
I just bought the book "Stealing Through Time" which is on the writings of Finney... looks interesting.
"Time and Again" would make a wonderful movie IF they spent enough money on the sets, costumes, etc. Decent cast would be helpful too!
The Time Travelers Wife & Somewhere in Time (if it wasn't already mentioned)
sharesomeone already mentioned it, but it's worth repeating:
Los Cronocrimenes (a.k.a. Timecrimes)
netflix it for a good time. easily one of the best time-travel films ever.
On. And Off.
Frequency (tearjerking in parts) and Deja Vu.
shareAfter going through seven pages for this thread I am truly,madly and deeply AMAZED that nobody's brain flashed long enough to remember TIME TUNNEL,an excellent sci fi series for its time and quite innovatibg for the audience back then,I mean,wake up people,geez!

A great list here
I should add A Kid in King Arthur's Court as well which I watched the other month that was not a bad film.
And
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
And I liked both though they have low ratings.

The Time Traveler's Wife!!!!
The book is spectacular, the movie is pretty good as well.

I have to agree, Timecrimes is probably the best out there. I doubt Hollywood would ever attempt it, the market for people that could keep up with it is pretty small.

Just thought of 2 more time travel movies.
"It Happened Tomorrow" Dick Powell and Linda Darnell, 1944 about a guy who sees tomorrow's headlines today. This premise later was the idea behind a TV series, but the movie came first.
ALSO
"I'll Never Forget You", 1951 Tyrone Power and Anne Blyth. A scientist obsessed with the past transports himself back in time to 18th-century London, where he falls in love with a beautiful young woman. Based on a play with it's more "known" title "Berkeley Square". Hasn't been seen anywhere in years.
Look them up in IMDB
Coming soon to the small screen (HBO type series ) the Outlander Series (the 8th book coming out soon) is a great time-travel, historical fiction/adventure. Hope they do the books justice.

Time Trackers. It is totally corny, but I remember loving it when I was younger and watching it at least once a month.
I would only go if there was cake.
