Great movie if you haven\u2019t seen it yet.<\/p><p>Of\u00a0 course <em>Back to the Future<\/em> is on my list, along with <em>Terminator<\/em> (fabulous time travel that is also a love story), <em>Somewhere in Time<\/em>, <em>About Time<\/em> (really, really, really fun, yet for some reason not that well known. Check it out. It\u2019s a romance. I bet you love it.)

And I think it\u2019s because they are about as escapism as you can get. Not just from whatever is going on out in the world (and I think most of us want an escape these days) but from reality itself. That coupled with a chance to do over or do better.
