Déjà Vu" (2006) Starring Denzel Washington.  "Lost in Space" (1998) Starring Stephen Hopkins "Retroactive" (1997) Starring James Belushi "12 Monkeys" (1995) Starring Bruce Willis. "12:01" (1993 TV movie) Starring Jonathan Silverman "Freejack" (1992) Starring Emilio Estevez AND Mick Jagger! "The Philadelphia Experiment" (1984) Starring Michael Paré "The Final Countdown" (1980) Starring Kirk Douglas

 

I'm sorry, but I can't watch any of these movies. They all contain time shenanigans. In my experience Hollywood seems to think that if their movie contains time travel it doesn't have to contain logic. Every single movie that I have ever seen that has time meddling as a major plot point has invariably been bad. Even if the movies were good, (which I'm sure they are) years of movie based temporal trauma would prevent me from ever enjoying them. 

 

 

 

"Paycheck" (2003) Starring Ben Affleck.

 

I did watch this one, however. Although it was indeed good, the time shenanigans prevented my from fully enjoying the movie.

 

 

 

"Planet of the Apes" (1968) Starring Charlton Heston

This movie is a classic. Who hasn't seen it?

[Countess Noodle 607]

The Mummy. This movie is amazing, it has everything. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

Oh shoot. I LOVE movies with time shenanigans! I purposely left out those that you could identify as time travel films by the title. Otherwise, my list would have been twice as long. My dad pointed out one thing about "The Philadelphia Experiment" that he claimed made it a good time travel movie. The sailor from the past was totally confused when he tried to drive a modern car. He went into a sort of panic because it was an automatic that had no clutch. He also marveled at how light an empty beer can was. He had never encountered one made of aluminum before. It also featured scenes where most of the ill fated crew were melded into the bulkheads and deck of the ship. They were STILL alive! That part horrified me when I fist saw it.

Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox. Its an animated superhero movie, and it doesn't require a lot of prior knowledge of superheroes to get into it.

Gah! Time Travel shenanigans! And speed force!? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! But despite all that nonsense, I enjoyed the movie anyway.  I somehow barely managed to maintain my suspension of disbelief long enough to enjoy the thrilling action, compelling characters, and splendid animation. But I wouldn't watch it again. Ever. 

 

 

 

A movie I'd recommend would be A Boy and His Dog. It focuses on a teen and is dog living in a post-nuke America.

 

Now on to your movie. If it contains any time travel at all I'll strangle a puppy to death in front of a small child.  

 

@, 

This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. And that ending, it was glorious. Glorious! Heck, any movie with a bunker full of crazy clown people is a winner in my book. You sir, deserve a prize...

Apocalypto, watch it. watch it right now, get on netflix and watch it. It's about the decline Maya civilization.  The Black Death. With sean bean. Now that movie, not action packed but it was good. It's about a young priest and a group of knights going to investigate a village that has rumors of bringing people back to life.

 

Sorry, somehow I skipped you! I'll be watching your movies next! Well, not Limitless, as I have already seen that one, but I'll be watching the other two!

Glad you enjoyed it, well most of it. I got a lot more where that came from (and plenty with no time shenanigans!). But you seem to be backed up on request at the moment.

[11th Doctor Whooves 794]

I recommend Clue.  It's my favorite movie, and it always makes me laugh

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

One underrated sci-fi film I'd recommend is StarGate. I mean, yeah, it's not the best thing out there, but I think it has a certain charm many other sci-fi films lack. Plus, I felt the characterization was good, and I liked the Egyptian influences; even though they weren't all THAt integral to the plot.

 

As for a fantasy recommendation, it's not the best out there (that goes to Lords of the Rings trilogy), but give Dragonheart a try. This was my favorite movie for a LONG time before LotR and others came into my life.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

 

 

Apocalypto

This movie was hilarious!   Easily one of the better comedies I have seen!

 

 

 

The Black Death

Ugh, that movie was just depressing. Normally I enjoy torture, but the way that the people screamed it sounded like they had just stubbed their toe.   And that ending was just so... meh. I give this movie a  out of ten.

 

 

Try Metropolis. It's a silent film, but it's still regarded as among the first of the great science fiction works.

Alright I'll go check out your movie next. 

@, 

I liked it.   The music was good, and the plot was engaging and suspenseful. 

 

 

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Drama. Starring Jack Nicholson   Blade Runner (1982) Neo-noir dystopian science fiction. Starring Harrison Ford    Unforgiven (1992) Western. Starring Clint Eastwood

Onto the next movies!

[Heart Beat 34]

i have no idea if someone already recommended these... but

 

Les miserables -cryed for 3 hours....

National Treasure 

 

 

(p.s i see you have already seen the incredibles its awesome, one of my favorites)

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Drama. Starring Jack Nicholson

I really, really liked this movie. It had very strong, compelling characters! But are you sure it's a drama? I thought it was really funny!

 

 

 

Blade Runner (1982) Neo-noir dystopian science fiction. Starring Harrison Ford 

 

Another good movie! The story was excellent and I especially liked the dark atmosphere of the film.

 

 

 

Unforgiven (1992) Western. Starring Clint Eastwood

It was okay. I've never really enjoyed westerns all that much, so from me, okay is high praise. 

 

@@LZRD WZRD,

I'll be watching The Hunt and Gattaca next!

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,605]

Here's another movie I'd like to recommend:

 

Pink Floyd: The Wall.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

 

 

The Hunt - Awesome 2012 Danish film that's an absolute must watch imo

This... just isn't my type of movie. Sorry.

 

 

 

Gattaca - Sci-fi dystopian movie dealing with eugenics.

 

Turns out I've already watched this movie! In high school no less! From what I can remember, I thought it was pretty good

 

 

 

Goodfellas, Children Of Men, The Wall, Quadrophenia, Tommy

 

I believe you are next in line, yes? I'll be watching your movies now.

[Sound Variations 264]

@Stormgiggle

 

I would like to recommend more, with your permission.

But of course! Recommend away!

[Washougal_Otaku 1,020]

My favorite is Jurassic Park.  The first one.  The second one was pretty good, too, but avoid the third.

[Sound Variations 264]

Event Horizon (1997) Science Fiction Horror. Starring: Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill

 

Sinister (2012) Supernatural Horror. Starring: Ethan Hawke 

 

The Thing (1982) Science Fiction Horror. Starring: Kurt Russell

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

The World's End starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost which is a science fiction British comedy, if you've heard of Shaun of The Dead or Hot Fuzz it's the 3rd movie in the trilogy of those two.

 

All Dogs Go To Heaven which is a Don Bluth film, he also did Land Before Time and Secret of Nimh. I love this movie and watched it a lot growing up and I still watch it now.

 

Frozen which I know a lot of people find incredibly overrated, but I love watching it over and over, the songs are amazing and memorable, the characters are fantastic and relatable and I love the story and the animation.

[Tao 7,776]

The Last Unicorn

Transformers

A Flight of Dragons

Ghost in the Shell

Hook

The Crow

Seven Years in Tibet

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

Transformers, Equestria Girl (you prob saw it) and Pokemon. 

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

 

 

Goodfellas

Now that, that was a good movie. Especially since it was a true story. The ending was a little depressing though. 

 

 

 

Children Of Men

Seen it.

 

 

 

The Wall

There are numerous movies that have the title The Wall. I have no idea which one you mean.

 

 

 

Quadrophenia

Eh, no. Sorry, but this isn't my type of movie.

 

 

 

Tommy

There are so many movies with the name Tommy that I could spend my entire life watching them all.

 

 

 

If you're looking for laughs,

 

I don't mean to be rude but I am in fact, not, looking for laughs.

 

 

 

The Mummy. This movie is amazing, it has everything.

I know! It's one of my favorite movies! It's too bad the sequels got consecutively worse...

 

 

 

I recommend Clue.

Clue is awesome! It's easily one of my favorite movies! I never really liked the board game it was based on though.

 

 

 

StarGate

I've seen it. 

 

 

 

Dragonheart

I'm watching this one next! 

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

 

 

Hmm.. Looks to me like you are willing to listen to any suggestions. (Including comedy)

 

Oh fine. I'll watch them. But if they turn out to be romantic comedies, I'm going to burn down an orphanage. :okiedokielokie:   

@@PathfinderCS,

I'm sorry, But I can't take Sean Connery seriously after this:

  

Anyway, I really liked this film! It reminded me of Eragon, in a good way!  I only wonder, why was the king so evil? I mean there is looking out for your own gain first, and then there is, well... http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidEvil

Pink Floyd- The Wall

The Who's Movie adaptation of the Album Tommy, should have been more specific.
