Can you help me build a Time Travel collection?

[WiseFilms]

Thanks for the heads-up about FOR ALL TIME. I'm kind of a Mark Harmon fan, halfway sorta.

Christine, couldn't help putting the recommendation for one of my favorite films, upon hearing the name Mark Harmon:

Cold Heaven

If you're really a Harmon fan (or Theresa Russell fan, as I am), you know it already.

If you haven't seen it yet, proceed with caution : it's not to all tastes , little birdies have told me.

I, for one, think it's a grand film, and the best Brian Moore adaptation out there.

Thanks for this tip about Harmon and Russell. I haven't noticed her of late, and hope she's well (a la Kathleen Turner's movie dropout).



I was pretty surprised by HAPPY ACCIDENTS, since I'm not a huge fan of either lead, but compared to the far more publicized KATE & LEOPOLD, I tended to enjoy HAPPY more.



FREQUENCY is also a strange mix of time-travel or alt-reality types, and done in a more Crime Drama format. Interesting film, but it doesn't get but slightly Above Avg marks from me, and I'm not certain why.



PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED is a film I'd completely forgotten about. Thanks for that reminder.



I hope you don't mind doing this. I appreciate all of these.

PRIMER is meant to be the best recent one.

DEJA VU probably not so hot.

Alain Resnais' JE T'AIME JE T'AIME is probably very interesting, but almost impossible to get.

EVIL DEAD III: ARMY OF DARKNESS (and also the end of II)

There are the two DR WHO movies, but only the second features proper time travel as a story device.

In ANNIE HALL, Woody Allen and his friends travel back in time to look at his past...

In Derek Jarman's JUBILEE, Elizabeth I visits punk-era Britain with the aid of her sorceror, Dr John Dee (Richard O'Brien).

In VERTIGO, when James Stewart kisses Kim Novak in the hotel, time and space melt away and they are transported back to the place of "her" "death".

The Amazing Mr Blunden 1972 - UK.

Great film..

The Fantastic Journey 1977 US tv series that lasted 10 shows..

[Aaryk Noctivagus]

I know 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home' has been mentioned... but what about 'Star Trek VIII: First Contact'?



Has 'Planet of the Apes' been mentioned... either version?



Has 'The I Inside' been mentioned?

Time After Time - with David Warner as Jack the Ripper and Malcolm Macdowell as HG Wells

name='ChristineCB']My current favorite is a little 1992 Jeff Daniels film called Grand Tour Disaster In Time about a small country inn that's suddenly full of 6 strangers who appear to be studying the town instead of being tourists. Turns out they're time-travellers, come back to look at "ancient" disasters. Great adventure in "What If..." but not such a light-hearted carefree film.

Hi Christine et al,

I fancied bump-starting this thread again - it's about time! (Sorry!)



Your Grand Tour plot was resurrected /ripped off by the US TV movie Thrill Seekers (also known as Time Shifters) in which an eponymous future travel company sends tourists back to disasters such as the Titanic and the Hindenburg. The time shifting all gets a bit unhinged when a journalist catches on and tries to prevent a forthcoming disaster.



Surprised not to see another US TV movie in this thread (unless I missed it) - Timestalkers, which starred Klaus Kinski, Lauren Hutton and William Devane. Remember seeing it quite a few years ago on British TV. That's a gap in my time travel collection, so if anyone has it, I'd be happy to trade (sorry, I know it's not a Brit movie!).



The I Inside was mentioned - enjoyed that: it was much darker and serious than many of the time-shift films (which often seem to be played rather tongue-in-cheek) - reminded me a bit of The Jacket for that, another that's not yet been mentioned.



Any more recommendations?
