I always enjoy watching, "Groundhog Day". Fun movie. One of my favorite underrated time travel movies is "Frequency". Really good. I put together a list back in 2009, but in hindsight its kinda generic. http://onceuponageek.com/2009/09/23/top-10-best-time-travel-movies/
I'm surprised Ed hasn't mentioned "Donnie Darko" yet. Bizarre film, but I know he loves it. Here is a fairly comprehensive list of time travel movies. Worth reviewing. http://www.timetravelreviews.com/movies_list.html Shag Sent from my iPhone On Aug 23, 2013, at 10:46 PM, "Dug B." <[email protected]> wrote: > Recommendation: Timescape, 1992.
