I am offended by the reviewers who have referred to this movie as a "chick flic."

I am a guy, with red blood, and I am exclusively heterosexual; yet this movie is my favorite movie.

Anyone who doesn't give this movie 5 stars must have never truly kissed a woman. Have you ever kissed a woman, just kissed her gently, and you both were sent high up into the air, even above the clouds, you both could feel your bodies floating up and up and up. Your hand was on HER back, but you could feel that same hand on YOUR back, as if you were her, for that moment. You experienced it both through your own lips, and hers. It was magical.

If you HAVE experienced this, you will relate to this movie.

If you have NOT experienced this, you are missing out on LIFE...

This movie speaks to me on the deepest level of who I am. I consider it so sacred a movie, and unlike any other, that I don't mention its name to my friends. Even the few who have discovered my connection with the movie have been asked by me to not talk about it, even in the most positive terms. Pearls are not meant to be cast before swine, and if you don't keep pearls tightly clenched in your fist, you never know when the swine are around you, which might snatch the pearl.

Great story. Have watched it on a few occasions.
DVD was in good condition. Sharp and clear. Purchased 2 at the time and
other customer loved it as well..........

very good movie. Much older but great. It came on time and in great condition. I do recommend it to people if your in the older movies.

If you can temporarily buy into the notion of mind powered time travel then you should enjoy this romantic excursion into the past that is suitable for family viewing. It is well acted with a convincing period setting and a fun romantic plot. It is fairly predictable but a few things may take you by surprise. A definite keeper that I would enjoy seeing another time.

I read the book before watching the movie, the movie was a little different, with a few things left out. It was a very heart warming adaptation of the book by Richard Matheson. I found it odd that the day Christopher Reeve pasted away I had finished reading the book and watched the movie. It has become one of my favourite movies ever, of any genre. The cast is amazing, all the characters were wonderfully played, especially Reeves Collier character.
A truely heartwarming, moving, lovley story.

As other reviewers have said, this movie seems to transcend all of its faults and strike a a very personal chord in the romantics among us. Its intense romanticism prompts us to break the rules in judging what makes a good movie, much as Christopher Reeve's love for Jane Seymour allows him break the rules of time. And, the movie is even more poignant today, since it's about going back into the past, and it reminds us of the past physical vibrance of Christopher Reeve, not as Superman, but as the healthy young man he was.

In many ways, this is Reeve's movie. He almost ruins it with his occasional lapses into Clark-Kentish oafishness, but he also injects into the film its dreamy sweetness, with his hungering eyes and his boyish awe of Miss Seymour. Speaking of her, I think she is one of the most beautiful and competent screen actresses in films and I have no idea why she never really became a huge movie star.

Christopher Plummer adds the right notes of meanness, thinly-veiled jealousy, lurking menace, and his own inner hurt as the blunt end of a love triangle. He also embodies reality, reminding us, by his dissapproving presence, of the vulnerability of the fragile love affair between Reeves and Seymour.

The special segment on the making of the film (in the collector's edition DVD) is a good one. It convincingly shows that the director, crew, and cast loved making this film and had high hopes for it. It also provides some interesting insights into how the novel was adapted for the screen and the choices, sometimes painful, that had to be made in the process. It's gratifying that this segment, which is low-key and refreshingly sincere, features the three principal stars of the film, the director, the composer, the author, and other players and crew members. Only the composer, John Barry, seems a bit taken with himself.

Somewhere In Time was nominated for the American Film Institute's list of the 100 most romantic movies of all time, but it didn't make it. As far as I'm concerned, it should have topped the list.

I don't have to think twice that this would be most serene and charming Love Story ever made.
I even liked it more than the Love Story and Titanic itself because it didn't have a hint of commercial cinema in it.
A simple movie with the Most Beautiful actress Jane Seymour and Reeve is just unbelievable in his acting.
Theme Music is just out of this world and everything about the Movie makes Magic. Whoever took Seymour's photo for the movie has made total magic and anyone would find glued to that Photo just like Reeve does in the movie.
This movie will take you back in time!!!

A classic film that that will never dare be replicated. Christopher Reeve at his best. A wonderfully interesting and passionate story with memorable characters who leave you wanting more.

Christopher Reeves delivers one of the best believable performances of his acting career!!
You will want to transport yourself through a mirror after watching this movie gem!

Another classic movie which shows how good an actor Christopher Reeve really was, and that he was not just superman.
