I've always been a huge geek on 'Dr Who' - before my time, of course, but I was always mesmerised by Tom Baker and his floppy hat and long scarf! - which did coincide with my growing up and the show taking on a new, modern resurgence. Part of my love for it is about the time travel aspects.
One of my favourite, like, ever movies on the subject is the film adaption of H.G Well's 1895 novel, called 'The Time Machine' from 1960, starring Rod Taylor. I was, and still am fascinated by it.
We've had the whole 'The Terminator' franchise, of course, and there's been all the Marvel Series/Film tie-ins that have had to do with multiple realities, and with the tech it's made it all I think a little easier for people to get their heads around.
Part of that fascination is imagining what would happen and where would you go? To see the Dinosaurs? Check out Ancient Greece? To Swinging Sixties London?
In a very real way, all these films and tv series transport you back in time to whatever period they are based in...so you could say you're time travelling already!
What period of history would YOU go back to?

I am so impressed that you know about and love the movie Time Machine! I completely agree with you. The movie is one of the best science fiction movies and is timeless (pardon the pun LOL).
I grew up reading H.G.Well's books and when I saw that movie it just sealed my fascination and love of the idea of time travel Awesome concept!
BTW If you like some of the oldies I encourage you to watch The Forbidden Planet (1956). It was filmed in colour and is cited as the inspiration for Gene Roddenberry to create the 1960's Star Trek series. It stars a young Leslie Nielsen in it. The Naked Gun guy and proudly a fellow Canadian 😊.
