    As we approach year's end, I thought it might be appropriate to discuss our favorite time travel movies.My pick: The Time Machine (the 1960 version, not the 2002 version)Special consideration also goes to:Back to the FutureTerminatorSpecial “worst of genre” goes to:Timeline

    Back to the FutureTerminator

    Fully agree with these two.  Must add the first Planet of the Apes.  A masterpiece!

    Ah yes, that is the other one I forgot to mention.  Good choice in POTA.

    I like Star Trek Generations where Picard and Kirk meet in the Nexus (I know it doesn't quite fit the criteria here but I had to hijack this thread with Star Trek somehow). 🙂

    I had to refresh my memory and I am still unable to say difinitively but “12 Monkeys” is my vote because it was directed by Terry Gulliam. This link includes film clips on the subject.http://www.toptenz.net/top-ten-time-travel-movies.php

    12 Monkeys is kinda hard to follow for me.  It was on last night though. 🙂

    I have to go with Phid here and say the original “Time Machine”.  The remake just doesnt do it justice.Honorable mention goes to:1. Time Bandits- Just Hilarious2. The Philadelphia Experiment- Good story3. Bill & Ted's Most Excellent Adventure- Another Hilarious one4. When Peggy Sue Got Married- Good Movie5. The Final Countdown-  Wouldnt the Japanes have been surprised?

    Ah, good catch with The Final Countdown.  I had forgotten about that one.

    I don't know how many of you watch Lost, but since they're traveling back in time now to 1974 it kind of qualifies as historical entertainment.  ;D
