Similar shows/films


I absolutely loved this show, I've now seen it for the second time and was wondering what other shows or films have the same 'future guy in the past' vibe like this and Back to the Future
I love how these stories play out so I was curious if there's any similar shows or films like this ot BTTF

"Life on Mars" -- the UK version, not the American version.

Most episodes of "Quantum Leap."

For the record, I have not seen this yet, but I plan to watch it. As far as time travel TV, there's always "Quantum Leap." I'm not sure I'd necessarily call it great, but it is what it is.

Mr.Nobody is similar in certain ways. It has Jared Leto in it.

An older take on 'future guy in the past' that was interesting was 1949's "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court" starring Bing Crosby as a 1912 mechanic(?) who winds up in the King Arthur era of England.

You should watch Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel.
"While drinking at their local pub, three social outcasts attempt to navigate a time-travel conundrum."

it's not exactly time travel, but one of my favorite future/past type movies is Frequency with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. It's kind of old now (from 2000), but still so good. Its about a guy who talks to his [ dead ] father on an old ham radio, but his dad is talking to him from 30 yrs in the past. the son tries to stop his dad from dying.
