There's a series adaptation of the Stephen King novel 11/22/63 about a school teacher who travels back in time to stop Kennedy's assassination, which was pretty good.

@Richard65 I’ve read the book and seen the series. Loved both. I tried to watch the series a second time and got side tracked a few episodes in.

The Time Travelers Wife ... although the book, in my opinion, was better. 🙂

@cheesenpickles never saw but I’ve heard it talked about.

The Monty Python guys. I don’t think I ever saw it but I did hear good things.
@4thdimensiondream Even in the script it says that when King Agamemnon pulls his helmet off after killing the minotaur, he is of the appearance of Sean Connery.
@4thdimensiondream Connery took a massive pay cut to be in the movie because he liked that line so much.

Did someone call for Monty Python?

Time Bandits is excellent.

@4thdimensiondream Time after time is also very good.

@SW-User HG Welles vs Jack the Ripper. Have t seen it in a long time but yes it was very good.
@SW-User The 2000's version sucks.

Still my favorite time travel movie.

'60 The Time Machine.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@JSul3 I prob need to change my pick to this.

@4thdimensiondream
The 2002 remake is pretty good, but the original is my pick.

This film needs a 4k release.
I recall seeing it in the theater back in '60....quite a spectacle.
I'd have to go with Back to the future with that topic.

If the topic was series, I'd go with seven days
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@AllycatAD tell me a little about 7 days please.
@4thdimensiondream I know about because my mom recorded the series for me, it was based on a gov. wing that would do what they called "back step" either go back and prevent an assassination, take out a terrorist ETC, all of that happen in the original timeline
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@AllycatAD sounds very cool. I’ll take a look for it. Thanks!

I am very fond of sci-fi, but was taken with the film Somewhere in Time (1980) where a romance takes place across to time zones - 1980 and 1900s - starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. Not really sci-fi at all but something quite different.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@FreddieUK that was a good movie.
@FreddieUK One of my mother's favorite movie, in 2017 she went with a friend to that resort.

I'm a sucker for time travel movies and books. If you haven't seen it I urge you to give Time After Time a look.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@MoveAlong somebody else mentioned it too. I haven’t watched in years but I really liked it. Great premise!
@MoveAlong That the one with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve? A favorite of my mother's.
My opinion of time traveling it’s used as an excuse to push an unrealistic narrative. The same thing with ghosts. There are great literary authors and playwrights in history, like Shakespeare and Dickens, that use ghosts in their plots. But, such things don’t exist. Hamlet got information from his ghost father. Scrooge had lots of ghosts around him.

Time travel is similar. People have these small and portable devices that make time travel incredibly easy. Though in reality, the power needed is equivalent to a star. For myself, time traveling plots are now boring. No matter the philosophical view.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@BlueSkyKing interesting take. I’m pretty sure technologically speaking, there are things we do today that people 150 years ago would feel the same as you do about time travel. Ever hear of the Philadelphia Experiment? Good time travel movie from the 80’s but I believe it was a true project.
@4thdimensiondream I’m a person that likes living in a evidence based world and a skeptic. With movies, the storyline is what usually makes a satisfying experience. Not the SFX. There is a consensus that the best science fiction is written by those that have a science background. Fantasy is anything goes.

Yes, I know of the film, what is the evidence? One of my favorite science writers created a "baloney detection kit".

@BlueSkyKing obviously there is zero proof of time travel. But until somebody gives me a good explanation how there is existence in general, something from nothing, like where did God come from, I’m pretty open. But regardless of fact or fantasy, I like a good movie done well with things that should never happen. Jurassic Park is not so far off stuff we can do with cloning. Anyway thanks for engaging!
Time Bandits 1981, I was eleven when it came out.
