Topic: Ultimate Time Travel Movie

[GillE]

I can't quibble with the survey which recognised Back To The Future as the 'ultimate time travel movie'.

I am surprised that Star Trek: First Contact did not even make it into the top ten.

Edit:

PS I'm also surprised Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home wasn't recognised, either.  And there's no mention of Frequency, starring Dennis Quaid.

Donnie Darko wasn't really a time machine movie. It was just a brainteaser. I also don't think people consider startrek to be serious movies. They're mostly just looked at as junk space opera.  

I think Planet of the apes should be closer to the top. Charlton heston deserves better then that. Most of the newer ones got really poor ratings from the critics. I didn't even watch the butterfly effect and deja vu. The Time Machine was the only real new movie I liked. I still pull it out to watch from time to time.

Yes, I enjoyed Planet of the Apes too.  I first saw it in a New York cinema in 1968 - several months before it was released over here.  But let us not forget the incomperable 2001 Space Odyssey. which I saw just a few days later.  Surly that should rightfully be top of the heap?

What about Doctor Who and the Daleks?

   Surprisngly enough, the particle physicists at Swansea University have carried out a lot of research on time travel and I've attended a number of fascinating talks on the subject by THIS GUY who says how it can theoretically be done.  Sadly it is not at all practical as too much energy would be required.  More than is available in the entire Universe.
