Who cares about that? You should be more concerned with the way our future's being messed up.

Ray Bradbury is the authour but I cannot remember the name of the short story.

"Lightening" by Dean Koontz. Well told story, strong characters and utilizing time travel. It is a decent little book.

Probably the best time travel novel I have ever read is by Ken Grimwood. The book is called REPLAY. I always thought it would make a GREAT series for television.

Time travel movies I've loved include, but are not limited to:

Somewhere in Time
Peggy Sue Got Married (minus Nicholas Cage's nasally attempt at acting...a MAJOR subtraction from the film)
Time After Time and....of course...
Back to the Future

Star Trek First Contact was kinda fun too.

NP - The Died with Their Boots On (Max Steiner)

Check out Behold The Man by Michael Moorcock, an interesting take on Jesus Christ!

I dare someone to make it into a film!!

1979's Time After Time (and it's David Warner, not Alan "Richman"[?]).

What about Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure? "It's the Freud dude!"

"A SOUND OF THUNDER

Oh, rats.
I knew that one without Google. It's one of my all-time favorite Bradbury stories! I'd love to see it developed into a film.
One of my very favorite time travel films (aside from the ones already mentioned) is MILLENNIUM. Its many cheesy aspects notwithstanding, the concept of this film still grips me, and I'm only sorry it wasn't made into a better movie. Daniel J. Travanti is excellent, as are Kris Kristofferson & Cheryl Ladd. Yeah, it's cheesy, but I think it's also underrated.

A SOUND OF THUNDER is a wonderful story, full of marvelous metaphors and similes. You can almost inhale that dinosaur because of the descriptive writing.

If you go to IMDB, you'll see that Ed Burns is making the movie of that story this year. Unfortunately, it looks like they're changing some of it, probably for time expansion.
