is anything new.
The Star Trek series explores the possibility and dynamics of
time travel is many episode. Enterprise devoted a whole two seasons to exploring
the concept. Probably Star Treks most significant use of time travel was in the
movies. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is a whole time travel
movie and deeply explores implications within the past and present and even goes
so far as reaching through the enormous gulf in time and space that
paradoxically represents the fine line between life and death.
Both The Time Machine and [b]Doctor Who[b] are probably obvious
selections.
There's Quantum Leap and its exploration of multiple dimensions.
Timeline which takes us into medieval France
Clockstoppers Time is sped up or slowed down for individuals,
depending upon their perspective.
Frequency Involving the dynamics of a father and son who talk
to each other through time using radio waves.
The Final Countdown What happened to the ships of the famous
"Philadelphia Project".
The Triangle A movie about the time paradox creating the
Bermuda Triangle.
Andromeda Through the betrayal of an ally, a starship is caught
in the event horizon of a black hole and sent hundreds of years into the
future.
Minority Report uses visions of the future to capture
criminals.
Army of Darkness Seems at first to be a horror film but
transcends into a time travel piece and a struggle between good and evil in the
past.
[b]Back to the Future[b] No explanation needed.
The Spy Who Shagged Me As unsupposing as it seems, Austin
Powers did travel back in time to unravel the secrets of his past.
Millennium People who are supposed to die in plane crashes are
kidnapped off of planes before they crash and sent to a new, unspoiled planet to
rebuild earth's population.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Be careful which phone
booths you walk into.
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Flash Gordon
Freejack People who are about to die in accidents in the past
are zapped forward to the future where millionaires can transfer their
personalities to another body to stay young.
A Kid in King Arthur's Court Self explanatory, I think.
Lost in Space The movie, not the series.
There are hundreds more I can think of and have seen. Some are good, most are
trash. Some are very obscure and I am not certain if they ever made it to video
or DVD.
I can write down all the names I can remember without any synopsis since it is
long. Let me know if you want me to list every single thing I have seen.
  Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

Buck Rogers was a TV series, & so was Quantum leap...
Though technically they both had their debut made for TV "MOVIE" that initiated
each series.
Don't forget Time After Time, which starred Malcolm McDowell as
H. G. Wells [in 1979, & released in *August--Co-Ink_I-dink timing, of which I
get to mention this the same month* it was unleashed & close--but no cigarro--
near the anniversary date ], who travels to modern day San Francisco to track down the serial
killer Jack the Ripper, who stole Mr. Wells' time machine to get there from 19
century England to the 20th century CA in the 70's crime ridden
society...Portraying evidence of what a 100 year span & leap into the future
proficiently certified the decay & advanced the corruption from the stem of
technological advancements in society.
Speaking of recent forum subject matter--This movie is one of those "onset love
affairs" that birthed a marriage between Mary Steenburgen & Malcolm McDowell.
Unfortunately, they were later divorced...
Twilight Zone The Movie
First episode had Vic Morrow, who incidently was killed in an accident while
making the movie...it was a helicopter crash...
Vic plays a biggot, who was sitting in a bar and making different racial
slurs--
When he exits the bar, as soon as he walks out of the bar, he is 'transported'
to World War II, Germany...Where he's mistakenly identified as a Jew.
AND, treated accordingly as the persecution that entails the befitted
identity--So, thus, he gets a 'taste' of his own 'medicine' of mistreating other
nationalities & in recompense of his condescending of other's weaknesses.
It starts there, & then Vic is transported into other time zones & circumstances
continuously, one scenario after another, 'til he's taught what oppression
does.
Planet of the Apes
Astronauts who are thrown into a time warp, where they land on the earth of the
future held the Apes as supreme species.
Charleton Heston starred in the Original, AND--Super Model, Mark Wahlberg was in
the remake, where Charleton Heston played an ape, rather than an astronaut.
A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court--Technically it's
fantasy/adventure, but yet deals with time travel concept of the mind, and NOT
the Body!
Starring Blue Eyed, Bing Crosby.
Time Bandits
Adventure/Fantasy--Yet deals with a kid who joins with dwarves to time travel
from period 2 period looking to steal treasure.
One of my favorite stars...with, Sean Connery: as King Agememnon, & John Cleese:
as Robin Hood.
The Terminator
Deals with travelling from the future back to the past, in order to alter the
future.
Hint: The Gov'enator of California stars.
The Three Stooges Meet Hercules
Comedy , BUT
once again, deals with Sci-Fi T'n'T=>Time & Travel.
Moe, Larry, & Curly Joe travel on a time machine built by a goofy scientist back
to Ithica, Greece, where they meet  Herc'--PS NOT GRIMSHAW, in this one,
SORRY!
Popcorn is all gone, so time for me to Cyber & Cyborg travel elsewhere...
Now entering the Twighlight ZONE & docking in Space1999...TV TIMEs & PAST
LINES.

As far as Buck Rogers being a television series...yep, that it was!
However the first incarnation of Buck Rogers
was filmed before the invention of television!!! John Dille Jr.
is the original Colonel Buck Rogers back in
1934! That was the original Buck Rogers in
the 25th Century These were ten minute shorts run at theatres on Saturday
mornings.
In 1939 half hour sequels became the norm. In those movies the saga starts with
Buck Rogers crashing his plane and being gassed to wake up 500 year in the
future. It was a series, but a movie series! Back in the day
there was your main feature at the theatre, but before that, there was the news
reel and shorter serial episodes shown on a weekly basis and resulted in the
creation of the term "cliff hanger" as various heroes would end each week in a
dire situation of peril and only by coming back to the theatre the next week
would you know if our hero survived.
Buck Roger's next screen appearance was 11 years later in 1950. Once again in
1966. In 1977 some fool tried to resurrect the concept of cliff hanger pre-movie
sequels using the 1939 Buck Rogers. Failed miserably.
Then the 1979 television series which many people are familiar
with.
A few other reincarnations in 1980 and 2000.

Boopsie Doopsie, Tek! My SciFi mojo is strong! --

"I wanna be loved by you, by you, and nobody else but you--ALONE--
Boop, Boop, ee-doo!" That was Betty--
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century started as a
movie not a television show.
At least in the Pacific Northwest--Bill Nye is the TRUE Science GUY--Butt went

Boop, Boop EEE-do is what she said.
Boopsie, Boopsie Doopsie, Boops, Sweetness are nicknames used
in reference to Betty Boop.
We got TV, Black and White, in 1972. Local station received broadcasts through
the mail, so everything was a week or two late. Even then, they broadcast all
the old time movies and TV shows since they were cheaper to get. Movie theaters
were doing the same thing. So, I have the practical movie experience of an 80
year old.
Freelance:
I tried not to list the really sucky time travel flicks. Like I said, there are
hundreds made in the U.S. alone. You ever need more, just ask. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should |

Unfortunately, science fiction movies in general are a good demonstration of
Sturgeon's Law:
"90% of everything is crap."
(Sturgeon was a science fiction writer; he knew what he was talking about.)
What makes "Back to the Future" interesting and above average, I think, is that
it not only addresses the underlying paradox of traveling to the past to alter
history, but is also self-consistent with its own assumptions. (Although as a
product of its period it necessarily ignores recent developments in quantum
physics, which postulate multiple universes spawned by every quantum event, and
where contradictory realities are possible.)
In any event, the movie assumes that the audience is capable of thinking - a
radical idea in Hollywood. Ordinarily, time travel is only used as a hook, a
gimmick, to hang a story on.
Since there's a lack of decent time travel movies, I'd suggest that if you enjoy
exploring the underlying idea you take a look at science fiction books. There's
a lot more, and better, material there than you'll find on the screen. |
