Best time-travel movie/tv

Um. Clearly it's Doctor Who.

Yay for Doctor Who!

Best time loop story (IMHO ever): Stargate SG-1 "Window of Opportunity". It's a take on Groundhog Day, and is absolutely hysterical.

Quantum Leap! Scott Bakula in a dress and make-up AND Dean Stockwell. I mean, come ON!

I have a soft spot for "Somewhere in Time."

I think one could have made an argument for "Life on Mars" until they aired the finale last night....


How about "Time Trax?"

Definitely the first Terminator film, closely followed by the second.

12 Monkeys

And don't forget Bill and Ted.

I also like "Deja Vu."

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

I'm partial to the Back To The Future meself.

Absolutely. I have them all on DVD now too and watch them on occasion.


Other good movies:

Timecop (lol, it's entertaining on more of a mindless level)
Donnie Darko (darker theme)
The Outer Limits had some cool time travel episodes
The Time Traveler

Those are the ones that haven't been mentioned yet. I'll echo that Back to the Future and Terminator are the two top contenders for this category, though.

Abso-positively!!!!! Which brings me to the all-important question, which incarnation of the Doctor is your favorite, and why?

The Time Tunnel deserves a mention, as does Seven Days.

And the UK Life on Mars was better

Though technically not time travel per se, Highlander (the series) had great 'backflashes'.

Time After Time is my favorite. An oldie but a goodie.

I agree. I got a free download of The Time Tunnel on Itunes a while back and didn't think it would be worth the time it took to save it, but I was surprised.

(And I loved Time Trax )

Gotta be 'Somewhere in Time'.

Timecop.

That and Time Bandits.

Groundhog Day.
LOST.

I don't know if Memento counts as time travel, but it sure is one of the most original movies doing something weird with time.

Doctor Who for me too.

David Tennant, because he's a brilliant, energetic actor and, well .... he's beautiful.
