 I'm just assuming that WUS types also have a special interest in time travel. Am  I correct?

Of course, over the years we've seen lots of great time travel literature, movies and TV shows, but I'm interested in what your favs are in hopes of finding something new to read, watch, etc.

One of the cleverest time travel books I've ever read was a take off on Wells's, "The Time Machine," in which one of the Time Traveler's circle of friends (a surgeon) turned out to be Jack, the Ripper. To escape being caught, the Ripper steals the Time Traveler's machine and ends up in the 1970s. The Time Traveler pursues him to the 70s and thereby hangs the tale. A very good read. It's called, "Time After Time," and it was also made into a decent movie, starring Malcom McDowell.

What else is out there?
