Having sat through all of that, I feel you owe me an apology! Biggest turd of a film I've ever seen (nearly - still better than Mr Woodcock).

The idea of someone else sitting through that catastrophe of a film in its entirety as a result of my post has made my day.

Struggling to remember time travel in Robocop. Somebody tell me I'm not senile?

The French film Les Visiteurs was quite funny in places.

However, despite being less time travel-y than the original Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey wins my vote though...

The original 'Time Machine' based on the HG Wells book is a good film. It is interesting to see what people perceived the future to be in those films and how it has really panned out. After all according to Back to the Future, we should all having flying cars and hoveraboards by now!

I saw this a while back and enjoyed it a lot more than some of the more modern films with their big budgets and fancy computer wizadry. Less can sometimes be more, or something like that.

Has anyone said The Time Traveller's Wife? The book is far far better but the film is worth a watch too.

Mr Benn


Other nominations:
not quite time travel but suitably fucked up, 'Memento' is a monster of a film.

Also reading "Making History" at the moment by none other than Stephen Fry, an interesting take on what happens if you dabble with history.

I've since watched Triangle and Primer

Triangle was fecking brilliant, fantastic film 8/10. watched twice in two days and made much more sense second time around. loved it.

Primer - jesus I need to watch it again the jury is out for now but wasn't as easily accessible as triangle (melissa george in hotpants certainly helped) but first impressions is a 6/10 slow burner, one to eat away at the back of your mind to revisit which I will be doing, after reading up some of the many explanations online, has the potential to be a bit of a cult masterpiece of a pile of steaming mindfeck depending on your point of view. and indeed intelligence level!!

Also have 2 copies of Timecrimes (Spanish) ready to watch - yes I bid for, and won, both on ebay. schoolboy error
