Product Description: It's silly, it's superficial, it's so desperately earnest about its tale of time-spanning love that you almost wish for a cheap flatulence gag just to break the solemn mood. But there's something so unabashedly gushy and entertaining about Somewhere in Time that you can't begrudge its enduring popularity. The film has become a staple of romantic-movie lovers since its release in 1980, and endless showings on cable TV have turned it into a dubious classic of sorts--a three-hanky weeper that anyone can enjoy as a guilty pleasure or a beloved favorite, with no apologies necessary. In his first film after the star-making success of Superman, Christopher Reeve stars as a contemporary playwright who visits a posh hotel and sees the portrait of an actress (Jane Seymour) who had performed there in 1912. He becomes obsessed with this beautiful woman and learns all he can about her, and then discovers a method of hypnotically transporting himself backward in time to meet her. "Is it ... you?" she says upon seeing the lovestruck playwright, and it's clearly a mutual attraction. But even the slightest reminder of the playwright's modern time can jar him from his seemingly real existence in the past, so his wonderful love affair is constantly just a step from being stolen away. Based on Richard Matheson's novel Bid Time Return, this flaky film may strain one's tolerance for plot holes and corny romance, but it's hard to deny its lasting appeal--and let's face it, guys, it'll make wives and girlfriends swoon if they're in a tearjerker mood. --Jeff Shannon

Somewhere In Time
I viewed Somewhere In Time on the television. I enjoyed the mystery of it and also the time period. I determined to start a library of movies I enjoyed so I could randomly relax and forget everything. I have done so and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Somewhere In Time. Touching love story mixed with exciting conflict. Join me, won't you?

Greatest Love Story of All Times
Somewhere In Time, starring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, is the greatest love story I've ever seen. I saw it on the cable channel when it was first released years ago. I had it on VHS and now I have it on DVD. My recent purchase of the movie was to send it to a friend who hasn't heard of it. How could such a touching movie go unnoticed? The actors portrayed the real emotional side of falling in love...and how it feels to lose it. Would you die for someone you truly loved? What mesaures would you take to search for them once you've lost them? Would you close out the world around you and only share it with that one person? If you haven't seen this movie, you have missed out of on jewel. This movie is in the early acting days for both characters but if you didn't know it, you'd thought they were seasoned veterans on the screen. It is a must see movie. If you have or have not been in love, it's a great viewing experience. If you ever wanted to see an example of what real love is, this movie will do it for you. It will touch your heart and even men will cry. Enjoy!

SomeWhere In Time
This is One of the Rare Enduring Romantic motion Pictures of Our Time.
I Loved it the First Time and I Loved it even more Today.
The Combination of Ms. Jane Seymour & Mr. Christopher Reeve is Heaven.
( but then I'm a big fan of both actors )
The Theme Song is Hauntingly Pure and Emotion Pulling, One that no matter when or where I hear the music.....I remember the movie and the feelings,
I still have in my heart the first time I watched it.
It is a Definite Must See!
In Faith and Hope, God Bless to All :-)

My most favorite movie
This movie touches a part of the soul that everyone can relate to. How often I have thought I was born in the wrong time...and this movie moves thru that feeling. I love it and watch it over and over.

Somewhere in Time
Absolutely fantastic! I purchased this special edition DVD for my oldest daughter (now 36 yrs old) because it has been a favorite movie of hers since high school. It's one of my favorite movies also. This DVD was re-mastered beautifully and the special features are wonderful. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a sentimental love story.
