Time travel movies have always been fascinating for me... the idea that some tiny, random (or not-so-random) event can change a whole series of events in history, making the world a completely different place is just mind-boggling. I sometimes think of how different my life would be right now if I changed one thing from my past... say, if I'd never joined the army. I wouldn't have my knowledge of electronics, I'd never have lived in Colorado or Chicago, I wouldn't be married to my husband, and I wouldn't have my daughter. Scary, and fascinating. Here's a list of time-travel movies that have made it into my DVD collection... not all of them are strictly travelling through time, but they deal with similar ideas. In no particular order: 1. Terminator series 2. Butterfly Effect 3. Frequency (Five stars for this one... I cry like a baby at the end, every time) 4. Groundhog Day 5. Donnie Darko (bizarre, but a trip) 6. Thrill Seekers 7. 12 Monkeys 8. Timeline 9. The Final Countdown 10. Retroactive 11. The Philidelphia Experiment 12. Run Lola, Run 13. Sliding Doors (more a look at two branches of a diverging timeline, but a "cute" movie, Gwyneth's atrocious accent not withstanding) 14. Planet of the Apes 15. Kate and Leopold (Hugh Jackman riding horses, yum!) 16. The Family Man 17. Clockstoppers 18. The Time Machine 19. My Science Project 20. Back to the Future series 21. Primer (indie film, a little odd) 22. Disaster in Time (Jeff Daniels... no DVD but I always remember this one) 23. Millenium (Kris Kristofferson, Cheryl Ladd) 24. Sliders (series DVD) but only the first two seasons before they started getting silly. I challenge you to just think about one event in your past that changed your whole life. If it was a good thing, enjoy it... if it was not-so-great, try to think of anything positive that resulted from it. For instance, you may have gotten fired from that dream job, but if you hadn't been crying into a drink that night, would you have met your best friend? Gone back to school? Finished writing that novel? Think about it.
