- When Romance Meets the Metaphysical
Immerse yourself in a romantic tale of epic proportions when the past, present, and future, fade together. Watch as a dreamy woman wills her ideal man (Christopher Reeve) from the future into her present life, without either of them truly understanding how it was possible for love to transcend time.

There are great spiritual depths to this movie, so I recommend watching it a few times. It was directed by Stephen Simon, the creator of Spiritual Cinema Circle and director of What Dreams May Come, so if you're a fan of either of those then this will be right up your alley.

- " BETTER THEN THE BOOK "
I had bought the VHS as soon as it was available . Now I own this Collectors Edition and worth every " penny " ; )

Love all the extras you get on this DVD which watching them all comes to almost 2 hrs. on their own w/interviews from cast, director , score writer, Jane seymour and the late Mr. Reeve . I loved being able to peek behind the scenes of how it was made , what the main actors thought and did while making the movie .

And to think, it was a box office bust when it came out and lost for a long while til a Calif. cable ch. ran it and from then on ...well, the rest is history ! Now it's a true cult movie to be enjoyed by all people , even those who weren't yet born when this wonderful movie was being made .

OMG....the score was and is breath taking . I immedialtely looked into how to get to the Grand Hotel where they have the yearly homage to the movie w/costumes and all. But, sadly transportation complexitites for me from the east coast was out of the question , so, I'll just enjoy joining the club ' INSITE' and live viacriously thru those who can manage to enjoy the remebrance each year & re-watch this wonderful fully packed version . I wonder IF there will be a 30th anniversary DVD with new information of behind the senes ? I'd buy it .

- Great Classic
Christopher Reeves' best acting. While this movie moves a bit slowly at times, it is a touching, haunting romance story. You will watch this one over and over.

- Movie credit for author Jack Finney?
I won't add to the laudatory comments about this movie but would like to raise an intriguing question in connection with the Steve Reeves/Jane Seymour movie, "Somewhere in Time." In 1970 Jack Finney copyrighted what he called "An Illustrated Novel" named "Time and Again," which I have. It is a romantic, soulful read predicated on time travel back to an earlier New York City. I have always been struck by the similarity between the time travel "method" used by Finney in his book, and the sort of self-hypnosis method used in the Somewhere in Time movie. They are uncannily similar! Yet I find no credit for Jack Finney in connection with the Somewhere in Time movie on either the comments posted on Amazon.com or anywhere on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com).

Of interest also is that the professor character in the movie who tells Richard Collier about time travel is named "Finney." Can that be just coincidence, or was it intended as a kind of homage to author Jack Finney? Does anyone know?

- Somewhere in Time
One of Chris Reeve's best films, overlooked by the critics, but an outstanding performance. Chris draws you in to his obsession with the picture and the woman. You find yourself cheering when he is able to travel back in time, and weeping when he is swept back to his own time unable to return. A box of tissues needed for this film.
