The Time Machine (1960)

Based on the 1895 H. G. Wells book by the same name, this movie was made in 1960 and while that means some potentially cringey special effects, the story line overpowers any of that. Stephen knows it and loves it, but Trev's never seen it - and being so old - what will he think? Starring Aussie Rod Taylor, it's directed by George Pal and is set in 1899 and beyond. Better than Back to the Future? Not even worth a discussion.
