Somewhere In Time - any Browncoat softies out there? by chrisisall

That's sooo funny, I hadn't thought of it that way! But he's not stalking, he HAS to meet her, 'cause he did. I mean will...
it's a fantasy.

Anyway, if she didn't want him, she could've had her manager kill him, or sumpin'.

When a local video store was liquidating, I actually bought "Somewhere In Time."

That movie -- where DID the watch come from? -- is just one of those flicks that continues to haunt a person. So I wanted to show my daughter.

It's held up pretty well, I think.
Whenever I think of things I wish I could go back and change, I still flash to some scene with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. Sniffle.

Chrisisall, I believe that this film is covered in that Time Travel website I gave you in that other thread. Where did the watch come from? Infinity Loop!!! There has to have been an alternate timeline that we weren't shown without the watch. He comes back, gives the watch, returns to the future, and can't return. Elise keeps the watch to return to him, giving him the idea to travel back in the first place...Infinity Loop!!!

Its the Terminator all over again! So strange to be typing about the similiarities between Somewhere in Time and The Terminator.

I think I need an aspirin.

I forgive SIT 'cause it's a fantasy, and as such isn't bound by the harsh realities of a 'hard' sci-fi film like Terminator. T and T2 have some 'splainin' to do!
Who do I kid, I like them, too (but not T3, it was all dark and didn't have young Mr. Furlong and such).

Is there a perfect time-travel movie out there?

If you like this movie, try watching "A Walk in the Clouds." it's another one of my wife's favorites, in the same genre.

Well, I have to confess that I've never counted and that, on most occasions, I probably used my sleeve.
LOL, I'm not a He-Man Dude, but I'm also not the most girly-girl sort, my affection for this movie not withstanding.

I haven't seen most "chick flicks," for example.

Not all science fiction appeals to me, either (e.g., skipped Predator, Alien, RoboCop).

Here's a question: Do you also like "Time AFter Time, the one where Jack the Ripper is pursued by H.G. Wells in contemporary San Francisco??

Why Chrisisall you're quite the paradox.

Stuntman by day! - Chick flick watching softie by night

Sorry couldn't resist.

I remember seeing this when I was very young; at the time I couldn't figure out why 'Clark Kent' didn't just jump into a Phone booth, leap out, fly anti-clockwise around the earth and go back in time? Bish-bosh jobs a good un!

....But now I must admit, while I don't perhaps shed a tear when I watch it, I do think it's wonderfully tragic love story. I like the whole time loop thing too and it was nice to see a film of this sort not rely on blue lightning to jump back and forth through time.

It is a good film and given perhaps more poignancy with poor Christopher Reeves tragic last few years.

May he Rest In Peace.

What! Some "chick flicks" are great!

"A Walk In The Clouds" is a very good film. Its engaging, and well acted, and the casting is spot on. I especially liked Anthony Quinn in it.

I admit to watching Somewhere in Time becaue Jane Seymour was so freaking HOT! Still is, actually, but man alive, was she beautiful in that movie. I thought it was touching, and I kinda identified with Christopher Reeve...Not the time travelling bit, but the being so very nervous that everything go just right when you meet that someone.

Time After Time is one of my favorite films. Any movie that has both Malcolm McDowell and David Warner has to be good, and this one delivers. As a matter of fact, there is a scene in Wonderfalls that is an homage to Time After Time. What? Haven't watched Wonderfalls? Go GET IT!!!

I have a few questions about Christopher Plummer in Somewhere In Time. Is it me, or did he seem to be a little too "knowledgeable" about Reeve in that movie. I realize he was just trying to protect/keep Elise for himself, and that's where the warning that "someone is coming" came from. He meant a man in general that would grab Elise's affections and end her stage career. But, this guy seemed a little too cool in the face of things. Has anyone read the story on which its based, because I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he knew everything about Reeve, where/when he came from, etc.

Umm...I also liked (in the way of chick(y) flicks...Addicted to Love, Simply Irresistible, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Serendipity and many, many others...

Only seen: The Truth About Cats and Dogs and Serendipity from those you listed but I always end up feeling cheated with these kinds of films... I wanted to make one where the guy puts in all the effort of romancing his true love and it looks like he's going to be with the girl in the end, but then some stud comes along and whisks her away for ever, leaving 'our' hero alone and rejected.

Ok so it's not upbeat - but at least it's truthful.

That said 'Some Kind of Wonderful and 'The Sure Thing' always stood the test of time for me. I thought those two were cool.

And that's what these flicks help me do. And, besides, I tend to not categorize movies in a "chick flick" subcategory, because a good movie is a good movie. If anything, Somewhere In Time is refreshing in the way it portrays time travel. No hopped up machines going 88mph here!

On occaisions... me. At least emotional truth that I can bind my own experinces to. Not always of course. That'd be frightfully dull.

I don't think of Somewhere in Time as a romantic comedy either, as I stated earlier to me it's a wonderful tragic love story. One that I'm also happy has fantasy undertones and that thankfully doesn't, as I stated earlier, use blue lightening to visually inform us we're jumping back and forth through time.

Oh and I too love Time after Time. :) that's just pure entertainment.

But I just prefer films to have some semblance of 'emotional' truth, which I find lacking in many romantic comedies. Often we're just subjected to key landmark emotions that fly contrary to human feelings.

I'm all for fantasy I wouldn't be here otherwise.

I enjoyed "From Hell" based on the performances, mostly Depp, of course, but I did enjoy Robbie Coltrane in it. Its a nice piece of entertainment, I thought. But, was never meant to be informative, I thought. The Masonic Conspiracy theory is just too bizarre to be believed.

My stepfather, who is a Mason watched that film and was a little perturbed to see some Masonic rituals being carried out almost verbatim on the screen. Which has pretty much made up my mind to never join them, but that's a personal choice...nothing against Masons, after all, most of my family are...Masons.

in ref to 'From Hell'

Yeah I guess it was more entertainment. For some reason I was really bugged by the cropping off from the neck up of 'our' main suspect. Felt a little like a TV movie. Also the London they portrayed wasn't evocative really, not that that is a huge issue, but old world London is pretty much still there enough to draw from.

Depp and Coltraine though are a great double act! I'd love to seem them paired up again in another film.

I don't own the movie, but I own the sound track--gorgeous and creepy music! I think the movie is great, but it is seriously effed up! Comedy? Please! Psychological Horror if anything! The man dies of grief like a lost tabby, shaking on that bed, alone in misery. I LOVE the way the movie explains the time travel--if you just wish really, REALLY hard, you can change the laws of physics! And when the man succeeds, it's about the creepiest "happy dream" I can imagine, you just know it's going to go very, very badly for our hero...

DON'T LOOK AT THE PENNY!!!!!

I love that I can find the movie hilarious and absurd and still care deeply for the people involved. Do I cry? Absolutely! I cry over the beginning credits just remembering last scene.

It happens to be one of the few books I've read more than once. In the novel(Bid Time Return) Robinson is portrayed as obsessed but also with a hint of being possibly margenally psychic in some way. As if he'd had a vision of Collier making the journey, yet not clear enough to identify him on sight.
Also the novel ends a bit differently...it's all like a diary written by Collier after he finds out he has terminal cancer- which switches to prose somewhere in the second chapter or so almost without you noticing. His belief in his ability to cross over time to find his true love is fueled by the knowledge that he hasn't long to live anyway, so he has absolutly nothing to lose in focusing all his energies toward this one goal...to come back to her. He dies as in the movie, but in the book there is a post script by Richard's brother saying that it obviously must all have been in his mind, but...(!)A Twilight Zone type ending from a TZ writer!

Good for you Chrisisall. I can say a film has never had that effect on me, and I'm not trying to appear tough or removed, honest, there's little need to; I'm small, puny, and lacking any kind of convincing moody stare or glare. Even if I get angry (which is rare) I've been told I look cute....

It's just I've never managed to blub during a film. I remember watching ET and wondering why I was about the only one in my family who wasn't crying?

I think there were a few episode of Northern Exposure where I was deeply moved at certain plot lines but that was mere heart string tuggin' as opposed to tears....

Oh well any ideas for other films that will definately put a tear in my eye ?

Other than The Abyss...I guess Hot War, a hong kong movie that is unusually serious for an actioner.
2002 also has a couple of moments (also HK)...
There's The Road Home (also HK), probably the best non-genre film I have ever seen. If that don't squeeze a tear outta ya, then seriously, nothing will!
Chinese movies that aren't straight up comedies are always tryin' to make you cry.
