One sci-fi movie I missed because I was too young in 1979. Then maybe the "Jack the Ripper" time-travel story put me off on renting it, previously. I like Mary Steenburgen in other movies. Maybe someday.

I thought it was strange that Ebert referred to Time After Time as a "comedy". It is a pretty dark film.

I was shocked too when they referred to it as a comedy. I recall being a very little boy while watching this THRILLER. I mean, it's about Jack the Ripper.

I agree. But still, there are a few brilliant comedic moments in the film especially when Wells encounters his first McDonalds.

Definitely not a comedy, but it does have comedic moments primarily with Wells character trying to adjust to being in the future in San Fran as opposed to Victorian London.

With "Time After Time" I expected an action packed, time traveling, crime thriller. What I got was a more sweet and endearing drama. Great flick nonetheless.

I saw The Onion Field sometime probably in the eighties and thought it was a good movie, but I saw it again about ten years ago and I didn't think it held up. It seemed like a movie of the week.

Time After Time is one of my favorite movies, and the only thing that surprised me here was that Siskel & Ebert both called it a "Comedy." I would never have called it that, although it absolutely has plenty of charming moments. For me, it's a straight-up sci-fi thriller with dashes of romance and comedy. And all the actors -- MacDowall, Steenburgen, and a superb David Warner -- are just superb.

i LOVE "Time After Time" i never thought of it as a comedy though. i used to constantly confused the title with the Christopher Reeves film "Somewhere In Time", to this day i still think those two films should swap titles though as i feel both title would better represent the other film.

@williamhicks7736 8 ай бұрын

While there are some amusing moments in Time to Time, I never considered it to be a ‘comedy’. HG Wells’ pursuit of Jack The Ripper involves some pretty serious and dramatic moments, like the Steenburgan character finding out she was murdered in that newspaper…. It’s a fantasy, time travel, love story…. An excellent film.

I've tried a few times to watch the debate on Life of Brian with John Cleese and Michael Palin on one side and two comical critics on the other but it was embarrassing how poorly the adversaries present their arguments. They seem to have seen a totally different film from the one we all saw. They just refused to see beyond the opening sermon on the mount sequence and believed the rest of the film to be an attack on Jesus and Christianity. Years later John said he had notes in his pocket that would have destroyed the religious critic but felt sorry for him and decided not to use them. Michael Palin was observably angered by the stupidity of the two critics. In a few more years they'll have The Last Temptation of Christ to ruffle their sanctimonious feathers over. I kind of wish they stuck with the original title: Jesus Christ-- Lust for Glory.

One of the big signs of religious blindness and ignorance -- no sense of humor. They are literally dehumanized by their blind, fanatical devotion to a death cult with an engraved image of "the son of god" nailed to a stick as its central idol.
