Movies that deal with Time Travel

My favorite of all time was "The Time Machine", based on the original HG Welles novel of the same name. The best parts were the speculation on what will happen in the future... wars, extinctions, evolution and de-evolution of the human race. It did not deal with travel into the past. For that, I think "Back to the Future" was best. It was funny, especially the parts where both Marty and those with whom he interacted were puzzled by the anachronisms that each brought into play. I also liked the continual emphasis on the danger of changing the past and how it would effect future events. Although not a movie, I loved the Wayback Machine of Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman in the old "Rocky & Bullwinkle" cartoon series.

I have three favorite time trvel movies. Somewhere In Time, Millennium, and Star Trek 4. With Somewhere in Time, you are going back in time. It is a romance. It is a beautiful movie. I great chick flick. With Millennium, a character is coming back to our time. This one is a sci-fi story.You get to see how the earth is in our distant future. And with Star Trek 4 The crew comes back to our time. This one is more of a comedy.Seeing the crew of the Enterprise acting like a fish out of water in the streets of San Franciso is classic.

i am not sure if you will like this movie but i guess you have heard it. it's the classic "Somewhere in Time". it's the time travel romantic movie i fell in love with when i was younger.

Dude... you can't forget "Black Knight" featuring Martin Lawrence... hahaha (that was a joke... sort of. i liked the damned movie) anyways, my favorite movies are the Back to the Future trilogy. I think Michael J. Fox is one of the better actors of my lifetime and the trilogy was the epitome of time travel movies. I can't even really remember any other ones...

What?? You didn't like Time Bandits???? Well, if you were thinking of that as a time-travel movie, I can see how you might have been disappointed. Despite being called Time Bandits, it was more of an Odyssey-like story. Anywa, my favorite time-travel movies are Back to the Future, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Terminator, and Twelve Monkeys. The TV shows Quantum Leap and Doctor Who are also great time-travel stories. What I generally don't like about time-travel movies is the whole danger of changing history. In my mind, if someone manages to travel to the past, any changes he attempts to make have already been made. If his goal is to change history, he's failed because history is what it is. BTTF was good despite this "changing history" element, because it was pretty funny. Bill and Ted, Twelve Monkeys, and The Terminator support my theory of it. (Well, The Terminator supported my theory in the first movie, but the sequel ruined it.)

well the one i am thinking about isn't a movies its a series more so ..its Charme d and the three witches can go back in time and into the furture ...its all pretty swesome ...I think it would be so cool to be able to do this ...they can actually change the past and the future once they go there ...

I loved back to the future , i love Dr Who and at the moment here in Scotland there is a programme called Primevil it is brilliant , its all about creatures coming in through a timewarp , love it xx

DONNIE DARKO is a good one that deals with time travel, the only thing that I don't like is that it makes you think really hard. As for the Back to the Future movies i loved them as a kid but watching them now they are sooooo full of plot holes and problems...like in part three how come the female relative is played by the girl tha plays his mom?...the families would not have merged until in the 50's or 60' or whenever when his mom and dad met unless they have a lineage full of incest

I like any (well, most any) kind of science fiction. Time travel has always intriqued me -- the Back to the Future series was great; Peggy Sue was good too. I didn't see Time Bandits. My gosh, when I'm trying to think about movies about time travel I'm just drawing an overload black right now! I know I've seen lots and lots ~ haha Have you ever read The End Of Eternity? That was a great book about time travel and changing events in time.

A great deal of movies that deal with time travel deal with going back in time- and as fanciful and fun as it might be to imagine, it's completely impossible. Always has been, always will be. Time travel forward is theoretically possible by traveling at almost the speed of light. If you travel that fast, time essentially becomes infinite from your point of view. You don't age (or age very slowly) while everything around you that's NOT traveling that fast ages, from your perspective, very quickly. Now, here's why traveling backwards isn't possible- to travel backwards in time, you'd have to go FASTER than the speed of light- and this is an impossibility. First off, objects with mass cannot reach the speed of light- not even the mass of a single particle. Light can go that fast because it has no mass. Humans have mass, so we can't even reach the speed of light, much less go past it. Second, even if we COULD reach the speed of light, the universe would end for us. If you reach the speed of light, time essentially becomes infinite from your point of view- however, the universe is NOT infinite- it will eventually end. If you stretch time to infinity, you reach the end of the universe, and you cease to exist. But isn't it fun to speculate about the possibility of going to the future?

I just thought of something that was a favorite but not a movie, it was a TV Series, staring Dale Midkiff, called Time Trax, I thought that had an interesting premise, I suppose besides a list of great films the next idea would be the tv shows like Seven Days, Time Trax, and of course Quantum Leap.

I liked the movie Time Cop with Jean Claude Van Damme, I liked the premise of it and how they handled it. And it was a good action film with great romance to it. I didn't see the sequel from 2003 yet, so I have no idea how that may be. I thought that there was a nice touch to a movie called Somewhere In Time, with Christopher Reeve, and I enjoyed Kate and Leopold with Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman. 12 Monkees was hard to get into, it was a bit quirky but for some reason I liked it, I suppose because it was so different from the what I had come to expect from time travel themes. There was a movie, little seen or heard of with Richard Hatch and Kay Lenz it was called Prisoners of the Lost Universe, it was quirky, funny, not meant to be anything other than what it was a fun movie. It wasn't so much time travel as traveling to alternate reality I think. But same idea. I also really enjoyed the Philadelphia Experiment also from the 80's. Have you ever seen The Final Countdown? 1980 Kirk Douglas, it raises an interesting question of what would you do if you were in that situation? I mean here is modern battlship, and it has the possiblity of warning Pearl Harbor, do you take that chance and save many lives, or do you instead let history play it self out? It asks the question what would happen if we did alter history? And in the end they don't know, I liked that it offered ideas as to what could happen from altering history but that they really don't know.

My fav movie of all time is The Final Countdown! Have you seen Somewhere In Time?

I do too. I wish they would make movies of the Diana Gabaldon series.Do you know them? R

Back to the future & Peggy-Sue got married are totally great!! I think my favorite time travel movie would have to be, hands down "Donnie Darko"

I would have to say my favorite is Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeves. I also loved the Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher. I thought the fact that Hermoine had a time turner in The Prisnor of Azkaban made the movie much more exciting and mysterious. I loved Peggy Sue got married and the first two Back to the future films but did not like Back to the future 3. I am very interested in the new Sandra Bullock movie Premonition. I don't know if the element of time travlel is involved but from the previews, it looks like it.

There is a movie of Jean Claude Van Damme, i forgot the title already. Another movie is "The One" of Jet Lee wherein he travels to another time and killed his own in order to become the strongest. Fortunately, he did not killed all and left one. Also, the "Time Machine" is also about time travel.

Star Trek Enterprise (not a movie but a tv series) deals with time travel. I like the way they handle it because they discuss quantum mechanics, paradoxes, and even came up with a Temporal Directive as to how the Time travelling agents are exppected to conduct themselves.

ya, the idea of time travel seems very fascinating to me. but i would never like it to be present in the real world. it will just increase the complications in the world. if anyone has read the harry potter 3 book, he can easily understand that what time travelling can do. i would never like it to be present in the real world.

I enjoy movies with time travel them particularly because the idea for me of being able to travel back in time, or to the future is so amazing. I would like to do it, given the chance. I just hate it in movies when for example they're portraying something that happened in the past and they don't comply with historical facts.
