Last romantic time traveller I remember was 'Somewhere In Time' (Jane Seymour & Christopher Reeve) with some excellent John Barry scored music.

Although Goldsmith was my favorite film composer I don't think any film composer wrote a more lovely poignant score than the one used at the end of the film. That and the last 5 minutes of the film gets me every time.

I am glad to see another time travel film in production, I just absolutely love that genre.

I think The Lake House was the last romantic TT film I watched, which I fairly enjoyed, though not a great film.

Trying to think of all the TT films in the romantic category that I have enjoyed, favoured in this order:

1. TIme after TIme (by far my favourite)
2. The Butterfly Effect
3. Source Code
4. The Girl who Leapt through TIme (Japanes anime)
5. Secret (Hong Kong film, with Jay Chou)
6. Somewhere in Time
7. The Lake House

I havent seen Time Traveller's Wife but I intend to at some point.

I loved The Lake House and I'd quite like to see the original. If you do see The Time Traveller's Wife you should read the much better book first.

I'll try as I'm actually a mod for a time travel book group, so I read as many time travel books novels as possible and this one is on my to read list. Only thing is, its quite low down as I prioritise on reading current month's group read and new authors novels. But I'll take your advise not to see the film before reading the book

I'm quite surprised it hasn't already come up as part of the group's reading.

The group started about 10 months ago, most people seem to have already read it, so is never high in the nominations each month

Ah I see. You should put it on your own list asap. Has the group read The Door Into Summerby Heinlein? That was a favourite of mine when I was a young un.

Thats currently got 4 votes for next month's read but The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov is way ahead on 10 votes which tbh I also voted for. But most of these nominated books will eventually be read

In case you wondering, this my book club group, tiny part of what I think is the best book site on the net.

Thanks Garratt, I've added it to our book group shelves and my own to read list

Sounds like a fun read going by the synopsis (which I had to get from Goodreads, as your Amazon link seems to be missing it for some silly reason)

**Garrett** · 29-07-2012, 9:53 PM

Ops my joke on Time after Time had already been metioned.

My favorite episode of the 60s The Outer Limits was The Man Who Never Was Born.

Part 1 here Im sure the others will be on after its sort of a sci fi fairy tale.

**Garrett** · 29-07-2012, 11:21 PM

Part 2 Im sure you find the others if you google them and heres an other full time travel film.

TheyCallMeTJ · 30-07-2012, 1:12 AM

Just so you know, Garratt, we were actually on a running theme of Time Travel Romance

Thanks for the links though, I'm going to steal your links and add them in my time travel group threads, in which we discuss and list favourite TT films, games, short movies, and of course books

I'm not taking the mick but limiting your books to time travel romance must limit you some what. How many books could there be?

I remember seeing ages ago seeing this film at a local cinema that use to screen old films, I never seen it on TV.

As it says a romantic time travel film.

The House in the Square (1951)

I was looking up one with Tom Bell and Joan Collins that I thought was a Romantic Time Travel but think its more an alternate universe although I think the world he goes to is behind us as HUGE Near End SPOILER he finds the wo

it.
Quest for Love (1971) - IMDb was wrote by John Wyndham

TheyCallMeTJ · 31-07-2012, 5:06 PM

I sure like to see The House in the Square. It seems only available as part of a Tyrone Powell collection for around £25 though and not available on Netflix or LF so I guess I'll have to buy it, if I want to be TT completist

Thanks again for these links
