Fellows, I will get on those prizes this week. Some good choices there.

EDIT: Oh and...I am happy to give out some Final Countdown. But man do I think that move STINKS! Luckily the customer does not agree with me.

BTW, Michael Carver's weekly OOP thread says that the Blu of the 1960 Time Machine has gone out of print. Good thing I already bought it.

Trevor - how do you want us to vote for favorites? PMs like we did with the Comedy Challenge, or in this thread? In the thread might get messy since we're also using the thread for our lists. Oh, and how many should we pick?

I had a dream last night where I time travelled back into the old west and discovered a site of uranium. Lots of shootouts before I made it back to my own time, because I was mistaken for a gunslinger too.

And thanks for the people who have sent in votes. I'll tally them up in a few days and send them to Rich.

So, has anyone come up with any more Academy Award nominated films that deal with time travel? I'm looking for triple(!) Challenge credit films to watch the night of the 27th. So far, we have Star Trek (2009).

I'm in. Not sure what I'll get to, but it might be time to revisit Star Trek IV. Any LDS anyone?

We have three overlapping Challenges this year, so plan those days accordingly if you wish "double credit" (or even "triple credit"!). The Academy Award Challenge runs through February 28th, so we have some overlap there. What you watch from dusk on March 30th to dawn on April 1st could also count for the annual April B-Movie/Exploitation Challenge. And our Second Quadrennial Leap Day Challenge runs from dusk on February 27th until dawn on March 2nd.

I recall seeing on the Wikipedia link of time travel movies, Superman the Movie counted, and that is also eligible for triple credit.
