Summary: worth your time
Comment: I saw this movie roughly when it came out and then a few more times on television. Parts of its stayed with me--and yes it is Reeve's finest performance by far (the "first kiss" scene is among the top three in cinematic history in my book). The musical score is, well, haunting; it creates an aural impression of Romantic longing. Last summer I happened to be on Mackinac Island; I visited the Coin Shop by accident (no longer a coin shop, so definitely go in and check out the SIT memorabilia) and decided to see the movie again. It took two months but the Collector's Edition was in the local video store....
Yes, there are continuity flaws, yes there is the fantastic time-travel dynamic, yes there are the wrong umbrellas at the Grand Hotel for 1912, yes there is the canonical ending--BUT, not since Wagner's leibestod has there been a more powerful artistic expression of the love that transcends mortal temporality. One might call the film a guilty pleasure, but, well, they just don't make movies like this anymore--and it deserves to stay in circulation. It is, well...timeless. Definitely worth your time.

Comment: Classic. Good to have in my DVD collection. Fast shipping and quality product.

Summary: Excellent concept - poor acting
Comment: I love the thought behind this movie. Don't get caught up in the overanalysis of whether it could actually happen. Sit back and enjoy the movie as entertainment. Just too bad Christopher Reeves was cast as the lead. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. A more accomplished actor and this would be a 5 star movie.

Summary: Beautiful period piece, but dreadful in every other way
Comment: I am a big fan of Jane's work in Dr. Quinn, and I finally
saw SIT on Netflix instant viewing. Although the historical
atmosphere is beautifully evoked, this was a perfectly terrible
film on every other level. The story is simplistic but I
could overlook all that if it at least hung together. But
the many unanswered questions (like the watch, what did
it symbolize; was the Richard who registered in 1912 the
same one in 1978 or was it a name coincidence) ruin even
this oversimplified story. Jane was lovely too look at
but her dialogue was very stilted. A big dissapointment after
all the hype I have read on the blogosphere. I recommend
Dr. Quinn for much more convincing on-screen romance.
