Time Travel movies I've seen
by reh3959 | created - 18 May 2011 | updated - 04 Dec 2015 | PublicThese are all the time travel movies I've watched (at least all I can think of). Most I like some are downright lame. I love the whole time travel concept. I have them divided into five categories. Listing them alphabetically in each category 1) Time Travel using some sort of mechanical device 2) Time Travel without a machine. Using the mind, accidental, or some rip in time. 3) Time Loop (with out without a machine) 4) Communications through time or seeing the future - with or without some device 5) Alternate Reality.
If anyone else has any suggestions I would welcome them.
