The 10 definitive time travel movies
I know they are missing some good ones (Planet of the Apes,as an example) but it's not a bad list.

1. Bill & Ted
was a fantastic movie from a time travel perspective. It's the only movie I can think of that did it logically. If you have a time machine, you can do anything you want in the past. So it's easy to remember to, at one point in the future, steal your dad's keys and hide them behind that bush a few minutes ago so you can find them now.

2. Without addressing the content of the article...
The design of that page is everything that's wrong with the internet.

Can someone give me one reason why it had to be presented as a slideshow? Why not do it in the manner of Cracked.com, with five entries on page one and five entries on page two? A web-slideshow is the most inefficient, annoying format for information exchange ever conceived. And it's never really a slideshow; it's a series of almost identical pages linked together so as to befuddle any attempt at convenient access. A horrible idea. I'd like to find the asshole who came up with it and blast them with a banana cream pie to the face.



Having said that, I really disliked both Peggy Sue Got Married and Frequency.

3. I hate the slideshow presentation,also.
They should at least have an option to bypass it.

4. Exactly
More thoughtful sites will include a "view as single page" option, which I will choose 10 times out of 10.
