"Somewhere in Time" 1980 film with parallels to BBM?

What an inspiring author! It seems like Bid Time Return and What Dreams May Come are different than his other works. WDMC is also a very good movie that I like to watch on New Year's Eve every year.

Well, there you can really talk about "a love that never grows old".
Or, wait --- maybe it did grow old....?? 8)

Paul, Thanks for posting about Richard Matheson. His death gave me great pause b/c so few realize how extensive his writings are and how many of them have been the basis for films. After seeing "Somewhere In Time (1980)" my rapid romantic gene kicked in and I tracked down the original "Bid Time Return (hardbound)" about 25 years ago using the then only means how, the Barnes and Nobles book search service..way before our beloved internet.. along with an original film poster. These are both cherished, not only for their artistry but the fact that kicked me so hard. The only film to have since done that is BBM. Both are linked. Cheers, Vincent.

Great to hear from you, gattaca!

I recently came across the loveliest tribute to Christopher Reeve as Superman. I know it has nothing to do with Somewhere in Time, but I think it's such a lovely tribute that I wanted to share it.
Background: A couple of weeks ago I picked up a magazine I'm not at all familiar with called Life Story. I found it on the magazine rack at the drug store, and I noticed it because Henry Cavill as Superman is on the cover, and it features a "Superman 75th Anniversary Tribute." I thought this might make a nice souvenir of Man of Steel.
Anyway, the magazine features articles about all the actors who have played Superman on the screen, large screen and small screen. The article on Christopher Reeve includes the following:
"Christopher Reeve ... became the interpretation of Superman that all others would be measured against. His characterization touched the world, which was proven by the outpouring of love that, first, greeted the news he had been made a quadriplegic in a horse riding accident while taking part in an equestrian competition on May 27, 1995; and, then, his death on October 10, 2004, from complications of that injury. In between he had shown a superhuman spirit of his own as he tirelessly campaigned to raise funds for and awareness of spinal cord research."
To which I add, Amen. :)
