    Best Time Travel Movies
    Back to future or back to the past, these movies strike a right balanace between being imaginitive and entertaining.

    Not in any particular order:

    The Final Countdown (1980): As a U.S. modern-day (1980) destroyer is time warped back to Pearl Harbor right before Japanes attack in WWII, the crew debate whether to intervene and change the course of future history. Or stay out of the way. With kirk Douglas.

    Back to the Future (1985): Avoiding advances from his own mother, McFly try to get his parents together before being non existent.

    Terminator 2 (1991): More entertaining than the original, Terminator (Schwarzenegger) is sent back in time to protect future leader of the human resistance against the machines.

    Star Trek IV, Voyage Home (1986): Probably not the best film in the series, but definitely the best story. Love the part where Scotty try to speak to computer using the mouse :D

    Planet of the Apes (1968): Astronaut crew who crash-land on earth in the distant future, find themselves salve to the talking apes.

    The Time Machine (1960): Arguably the best time machine movie ever made as Rod Taylor travels to a future hundreds of thousands of years from his time. Very imaginitive.

    Scrooge (1970): As Scrooge (Albert Finney) travel to christmas pass, present and future, his life take a new meaning.

    IO would just say that the Alistair Sims (1951) version was and is the best version of A Christmas Carol/Scrooge. The rest pale in comparison IMO.

    I'd also add the first Terminator movie.

    Doctor Who is not a movie but in a real way they were made for TV movies - They were typically 1.5 -2 hour stories simply broken out into 4-6 episodes and run weekly.

    Although don't remember Alistair Sims version too well since it been a while, but fondley remember Albert Finney version which also have a great supporting cast including Alec Guiness.

    Since haven't seen those two movies, I have to take your word for it. They seem to have gotten good reviews.
