Time Bandits (1981) by Terry Gilliam

Such a great movie with an amazing ending.

Absolutely my favorite time travel movie, although I still have no idea how to interpret the ending.

My favorite time travel story, however, is when Stephen Hawking threw a party for time travelers.

Hey everyone, Stephen Hawking is throwing a party, and we're all invited! One catch: Stephen Hawking is dead, and the party was in 2009. Still, the invitation stands.

What if you threw a party and nobody came, but that's exactly what you expected? That's precisely what famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking did on June 28, 2009. He rented a space at Cambridge University and got balloons, decorations, and, of course, the champagne. Then he sat in the empty room for a few hours and left.

Only then did he send out the invitation.

What a classic, one of my favorite movies as a kid.
