I need to see that film again, and this time I'm gonna try to watch it sober.

And I forget the name of the movie, but a moder day Aircraft carrier is sent back in time to just prior to the Sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. That was a good movie as well.

That movie was The Final Countdown. It's coming out on DVD soon, and I've already pre-ordered it. It's almost the perfect movie for me; it has both time travel and Pearl Harbor, 2 of my favorite subjects. Now, if Martin Sheen just wasn't in it..... |

Oh so true! Perhaps we should start a new thread "Good films ruined by bad actors..." |

Re: OT: the best time loop ?
Bill Murray is more or less condemned to repeat the day until he get's everything right. It finally gets where he sort realizes what's going on. Every time he screws up, he knows he's just going to wake up again on Goundhog Day. And you're right, it's a very good movie.

I have to disagree. The Terminator, at least the first one, is more of a time paradox movie. If Sarah Conner hadn't of met Kyle Reese originally, then who was the father of John who led the revolution? But John couldn't exist without Kyle Reese making jiggy with Sarah, right? That's what I've always wondered about. |

I like the SG1 episode where some aliens set them up to relive situations from their past over and over and over.

Re: OT: the best time loop ?
The Final Countdown,
U.S.S. Nimitz goes back in time a few days before Dec 7, 1941. We get to see just how good F-14's are against Mitsubishi Zero fighters. And how to take out a helicopter with a flare gun.
If I could go back in time I would not buy Imperium Galactum, or Moo3, and use the money saved to waterproof Atrocities's house.
Yeah I'll second that 12 Monkeys also.
