Wild Things 2 -- I started watching it and all of the sudden I was 90 minutes into the future with nothing to show for it and no idea how I got there.

Just watched Happy Accidents on IFC (why don't they show their movies in their OAR?).

The original Time machine

Check out the extras on the disc--great doc about how they restored the Time Machine prop.
Hosted by Michael j Fox.

Peggy Sue Got Married: No machine, she just sort of fell asleep and woke up in the past.

Planet of the Apes (’68): Not technically time travel, just that time to them slowed down quite a bit so that when they returned time on Earth was far ahead of them.

Kate and Leopold: This guy opens a portal in time, transporting Leopold from 1867 to the present time. I’m not sure exactly how he opened the portal in time.

How can we forget Army of Darkness?


and how about Forever Young - Mel Gibson is cryogenically frozen in 1939 and wakes up in 1992... there was another similar one about two brothers getting frozen - Late for Dinner or something like that.

the Terminator trilogy deals with time travel and time travel paradoxes. Actually, the first two movies are amongst the very best in the time travel genre.

I love a good time travel movie. 12 Monkeys is at the top of the list along with the original Time Machine.

Another of my favorite time travel movies is Slaughterhouse-Five. I love how instead of there being a "machine" or "wormhole" or some other device the guy just travels back and forth through time randomly and without any control or knowledge of why it happens. The only explination given in the movuie or books is that he "has come unstuck in time".

I didnt like either "Time Machine" movie because they both used some event to explain the inability for showing "futuristic" scenes.

I dont really remember the book all that well...but didnt he go directly from 1893 to like the year 48 Million (with the dying sun and large crab creatures?)

Time travel movies are my favorite.

A bunch not mentioned that I liked...

Ditto - ham radio
Il Mare - mailbox
Butterfly Effect - diary
Returner - time portal machine
Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness - book of the dead

not so good ones:

13 Going on 30 - wishing dust (so dumb)
Take 2 - uhh... someone dropped a coin on a bus and someone else picked it up and then... uhh... actually I didn't get it.
Paycheck - built a machine to see into the future
Clockstoppers - watch that speeds up the wearer
Black Knight - it was all a dream... or was it?
Planet of the Apes - space warp

I'm still waiting for Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time

Would the first Matrix count? The year Neo thought he was in was not the same as when they woke him up in the real world.

I don't think "The Matrix" counts since he always exsisted in the "future".

That would be like saying a "Star Trek" episode where they go to the 1800's via the holodeck is a time travel episode.
