Petr (Filip Blazek) gets the chance to return to his past and meet the love of his life, his classmate Eliska, in June 1989.
This quirky student comedy tells the story of Petr Kovàr (Filip Blazek), who gets the chance to return to the past for a while and he meets the love of his life, his classmate Eliska, again in June 1989. There is one hook: physically he is seventeen again (played by JirÕ Màdl), but his mind remains that of a modern "forty-something". He returns to a different reality, forgetting that he will be tested again and how the school system was different back then. Thus the plot throws him several comical and provocative twists and through a surprising romantic entanglement it lets the audience see and recall the absurdity of the pre-revolution era.

A scientist obsessed with the past transports himself back in time to 18th-century London, where he falls in love with a beautiful young woman. ///// Peter Standish (Tyrone Power) is living in an 18th-century house on Berkeley Square where his distant relative - also Peter Standish - once lived centuries before. But when he is struck by lightning, he suddenly finds himself in the 18th Century! Peter meets his ancestor's fiancŽe Kate Pettigrew (Beatrice Campbell) but it is her sister, Helen (Ann Blyth) with whom he falls in love. As Peter tries to hide his true, modern identity, a jealous Kate makes trouble and before long, Peter finds himself back in the present where his true love might not be lost after all. An American physicist, Peter Standish, lives in London in an inherited flat on Berkeley Square, unchanged from its 18th century appearance. He's researched his ancestors and the flat, and he believes somehow he will travel through time, if only briefly, to 1784. A lightning strike transports him, and he finds things disturbingly different than he expected: disease and social conditions appall him, and, in this Age of Reason, his speech, manners, and knowledge frighten rather than interest all except one young woman, Helen, the sister of the woman he's to marry. He sets up a laboratory in the hopes of hastening progress, and he tells her his secret. Does love or Bedlam await?

"Ian, Isaac and John" by Paul Levinson is largely about the ulterior motive that Ian's employees assume he has for the journey. If he has one it would probably involve a second much larger paradox than the one he is supposed to be making the journey for. It works largely because Levinson does justice to the story through its characters. Incidentally, Lannie is going to 1975 and is interested in doing something of a musical nature.

Travels to various time periods.
A frozen Ming Dynasty royal guard and the equally frigid rapist-killer he's tracking are thawed out in modern-day Hong Kong. "Iceman Cometh" starts out as a manhunt by Ming royal guard Yuen Biao after a rapist-killer of thirteen women in the royal palace, including a relative of the emperor. The guard is transported along with the killer to a snow covered area by a Tibetan wheel with time travel properties. After the two are frozen in the snow, a scientific expedition finds them years later and brings their frozen bodies back to modern Hong Kong. The guard and killer are accidentally thawed out, and the guard ends up getting involved with a call girl (Maggie Cheung) Maggie Cheung steals every scene she is in. Yuen Biao is tops in action scenes with his opponent, the actor who played Panther in "Supercop," but Biao is no match for Maggie. She uses him first as a housekeeper to clean up her messy apartment, then as an enforcer to shake down her clients for additional payoff money. She is the one with most of the problems, from a pimp who threatens to throw acid in her face if she doesn't go out with a client to her later run in with the rapist murderer. The movie also has some nice technical effects when the Tibetan wheel goes into its time traveling mode at the end of the movie, but the real special effect is Maggie Cheung's acting range. She can project some personality on the screen.

During a time of waning global resources, a crew of young researchers travel into the future to escape an apocalypse before the shutdown of their time transfer project.

Their further discoveries of humanity's future fate is somewhat less than rosy. They also learn their time travel was not without significant costs to their own health. After one of the group travels further into the future, she encounters a family in a futuristic automobile; implying humankind has recovered from the disaster (or have they?) A crew of researchers develop a method of traveling into the future hoping to escape the apocalypse looming in their own time.

When the darkness in a musician's dreams tears its way into his waking life, a series of brutal murders rocks the city and word spreads of a spectral form looming over the rooftops. The movie is based on a 1996 award-winning comic book by writer/artist Andr s Useche. Useche explained to a Colombian newspaper that the title Vana Espuma comes from an expression used in the 1619 play Fuenteovejuna that he found echoed in the Spanish translation of Freud's book On Dreams. In the introduction, Freud talks about other scientists who discouraged his work on this subject saying that dreams are "Schaum" (froth) a word which translated into Spanish as vana espuma (Idle Mist).
