Other Time Travel Movies - Time After Time (1979) Discussion

[–] diane-bernaerts 16 years ago

For all time with Mark Harmon and The two worlds of Jenny Logan are also romantic time-travel tv-films. And then there is Millennium with Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd, and Grand Tour: Disaster in Time: a great movie with Jeff Daniels!
I also remember Timeshifters/Thrill Seekers and Timeline, but I didn't like them as much as the above mentioned.

Many years ago I saw a time-travel related film. I can't remember the name and I've been searching for it ever since!

It's about a time machine built on a military ship some decades ago, and the whole ship gets sent into some kind of time-hole. 2 of the crewmen fall off the ship and land in the present day...

Rings a bell? If so, you made my day! :P

Frequency is another fun time travel story, though it's only voices that time travel, allowing conversation between the past and present.

Of course, there's the movie version of the novel that I think might actually be the granddaddy of all time travel stories, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

As for novels, you could be be right. Twain`s effort was first published in 1889. whilst Wells` Time Machine was published in 1895.

Well, it generally isn't considered a "time travel" story, but Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (not a novel but a novella) was published before the Wells or the Twain.

And why not consider it a time travel story? Even if you are just seeing shadows?

Well, someone *finally* mentions "T.P.E." Couldn't believe it took that many posts!

Philadelphia Experiment is a different movie about a Navy experiment. The movie in question here is "The final countdown" starring Martin Sheen and Kirk Douglas.

The Philadelphia Experiment and The final Countdown are two different movies, both involving navy ships and time travel... FYI.

The novel is much better: "Bid Time Return" by Richard Matheson

Matheson probably holds a record for his novels or stories turned into films:

Hell House (film: The Legend of Hell House)

The Shrinking Man (film: The Incredible Shrinking Man)

I Am Legend (films: The Last Man on Earth; The Omega Man; I Am Omega;
I Am Legend)

A Stir of Echoes (film: A Stir of Echoes)

What Dreams May Come (film: What Dreams May Come)

Button Button (film: The Box)

Duel ( film: Duel- directed by Steven Spielberg)

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (Twilight Zone episode w/ William Shatner; film: Twilight Zone - w/ John Lithgow)

The Night Stalker (tv: remember Kolchalk?)

Do yourself a favor & check out his enormous volume of work. He will keep you charmed, delighted, horrified and terrified.

He was Stephen King long before King was a twinkle in his daddy's eye.
