Weekend Movie Marathon
Time Travel
This weekend I decided to watch some time travel movies. I find time travel interesting... but not something I see watching often... as it is something I normally have to be in the mood for. But as soon as our a friend on the other forum mentioned Time Travel in my theme suggestion thread it just clicked for me for this weekend. I recently watched all the Star Trek movies... so probably won't be watching the time travel Star Trek movies this weekend. But they are listed below with the rest of my time travel movies.

In between every movie I will be watching an episode of the '66 TV Series Time Tunnel.

My Time Travel Movies:
- Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
- Austin Powers in Goldmember
- Back to the Future
- Back to the Future 2
- Back to the Future 3
- Cave Girl
- Donnie Darko
- Escape from the Planet of the Apes
- Freejack
- A Kid in Aladdin's Palace
- The Lake House
- Star Trek (2009)
- Star Trek: Voyage Home
- Star Trek: Generations
- Terminator
- Terminator 2
- Terminator 3
- Time Machine (2002)
- Time Travelers (TV Movie)
- Twelve Monkeys
- Planet of the Apes (1968)
- Planet of the Apes (2001)
- Warlock

Maybe... IMDB claims Time Travel (Would you consider this Time Travel? I either don't remember enough about it or haven't seen them yet.)
- 13 Going on 30 (Kinda see it... she has a birthday in the '80s birthday wish to be 30... wakes up the next morning inside her 30yr old self. No longer in the '80s)
- The Family Man
- Galaxy Quest (enough being just an extremely short clip? I wouldn't think so)
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Land of the Lost
- Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
- Lost in Space
- Stargate
- Unholy

Don't forget Chris Reeves and Jane Seymour Christopher Plummer 

Somewhere in Time

1980

Time After Time

Malcolm McDowell 1979
Original George Pal's  HG Wells

Time Machine

1960

or something newer  you could try

Time Traveller's Wife

2009
and for movies that travel thru time--
I'd suggest Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean- Paul Newman 1972
Giant  - 1956  or maybe Same Time Next Year- Alan Alda Ellen Burstyn  1980

Definitely!  Your time travel list will always be lacking without this movie listed.

The Harry Potter one does have time travel in it...they just don't go very far, so it depends on if you want a drastic time change (longer than a few hours) or not. I'd count it myself.  Lost in Space has a bit of time travel at the very end...if you need something to round out the time travel aspect, it'd work, but it's less a part of the plot than Harry Potter...

Thanks

From the Academy Award® - winning team of executive producer Steven Spielberg* and director Robert Zemeckis** comes the hilariously original, groundbreaking adventure that thrilled critics and audiences alike - and sparked one of the most successful movie trilogies ever to alter history!

The year is 1985 – but not for long. Because teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is about to be blasted back to 1955 aboard the plutonium-powered DeLorean created by eccentric genius Doc Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). But when Marty accidentally keeps his parents-to-be from falling in love, it triggers a time-shattering chain reaction that could vaporize his future – and leave him trapped in the past! Now, Marty's last hope is to change history – before the clock runs out on his one-in-a-million chance to get himself Back to the Future!

Powered by spectacular special effects, unforgettable songs and outrageously imaginative action, it's an exhilarating motion picture triumph you'll want to experience time and time again!

My Thoughts:
This is one of my favorites from the '80s. Though I will admit that cable showed this movie so much in the late '80s and early '90s that I got sick of seeing it. Thankfully by the time the DVDs came out it was so many years since I saw it I was once again wanting to see it and was quick to get the DVDs. If there was one downfall to this movie for me personally it is all the music used. I know most people probably love every minute of the music. But hey... what can I say... it was a bit too much for my taste. But even with that said this is still an excellent movie. I really enjoyed all the characters... especially Marty and Doc Brown. I also liked that through-out the trilogy they really paid attention to the details... making even small references to the town from movie to movie. They really made sure to make this a fun movie.

My Rating: 4.5/5

The Time Tunnel: Volume One
FROM THE CREATIVE GENIUS OF IRWIN ALLEN ("Lost in Space," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," The Poseidon Adventure  and The Towering Inferno) COMES ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND ORIGINAL SCI-FI SHOWS OF THE 1960s!

"THE CONTROL OF TIME IS POTENTIALLY THE MOST VALUABLE TREASURE THAT MAN WILL EVER FIND." Or so believed the scientists of Project Tic Toc. Located beneath the Arizona desert, the ten-year project's focus is the feasibility of time travel. But when the government reconsiders the project, the scientists have only 24 hours to prove their untested "Time Tunnel" will actually work. Determined to save the project, Dr. Tony Newman and Dr. Doug Philips go through the tunnel—and quickly find themselves catapulted from one historical event to another, barely escaping with their lives as their colleagues back in Arizona race to figure out a way to bring them back home.

Episode Watched:
REIGN OF TERROR
Tony and Doug land in Paris in the middle of the French Revolution and are rescued by a storekeeper who believes they have come to help free Marie Antoinette.

My Thoughts:
An alright episode..., definitely not one of my favorites. But that could have something to do with the time it was set in. Even when studying this period back in school I had little to no interest in this particular period in time. It was never anything that kept my interest for some reason.

My Rating: 2.5/5

You could try Primer if you want a mental challenge!

or:

Time Bandits
The Butterfly Effect films
The Philadelphia Experiment films
Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel
Groundhog Day (does that count as time travel?)
The Deaths of Ian Stone (ditto as above)

Good idea for a themed marathon though!

Thanks for the suggestions... more to add to my wishlist. The only one I have in my collection already is The Deaths of Ian Stone... Like you.. not sure  it counts for time travel though.
