Not movies set in the past or set in the future; movies that are specifically about time travel.

While we're swapping battle-scars, I should mention that I saw Warlock II in the theater.
Pity me.

Have the Carrier take on and slaughter the Japanese attack force, then they return to present day and find it comepletely changed. Perhaps show up in Pearl Harbor to see Nazi Flags flying or something.

9. The Lake House & If Only (sort of) |

Both excellent, if somewhat sappy movies.

Like Demolition Man and Idiocracy and that one episode of Star Trek TNG and those hundreds of sci-fi stories from the 50s through 80s that all of the aforementioned things ripped off... :P

A wonderful movie from the late 70's. H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) chases Jack the Ripper (David Warner) through time to modern day San Francisco.

19. Don't forget Mary Steenburgen |
|
I'm probably the only one here who saw it in the theater.
(as Wells and Amy are kissing on Amy's couch, she begins to remove pieces of his clothing - first taking off his glasses, then unfastening his collar) H.G. Wells: Amy, I don't want to compromise you. Are you quite certain I'm not forcing you to... Amy Robbins: Forcing me? My God, Herbert, I'm practically raping you.

I think that's the title. If it's the one I'm thinking of, yes it was a dumb movie.

24. The one where two guys create a time machine in their garage |
|
They could only go like 6 hours into the past and wound up with duplicates of themselves running around. It was a fascinating movie and I never quite understood the time-travel protocol they were following. What was the fricken' title?

It's also the only time travel story I've ever seen that's not 100% circular.

43. Everyone one ever made |
|
they all follow a story arc that progresses either forward or backward in time. I've yet to see a movie that examines solely a split moment in time and nothing else.
never fear, the naysayer is here!

44. The Butterfly Effect explores the alternate realities possible |

for different decisions. Next is not really a time travel movie - Nicholas Cage's character sees into the future and makes choices based on that prescience.
