Yeah I loved it too. And then I watched it again recently.....Well maybe I'm jaded in my old age, or perhaps I've spent waaaayyyyy too much time in the crime-drama arena. But now it just seems to me that he's stalkerish to the EXTREME.

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?
(Time Traveler-1960?)

I own this movie as well. It's one of my wife's favorites.
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.
Best personal regards, Wally Pipp

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.

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.
