Thanks, Barkey! I didn't even know of the third version of _The Time Machine,_ but I won't see it. I'd almost rather see the 2002 version, and I passed on that when it came out! The one by George Pal is still the best. Why? Because Yvette Mimieux is perfect as Weena. So beautiful and such an ingenue.
Original version of The Time Machine for me. The most interesting part is how the Eloi blew off all ambition and learning letting their books turn to dust. This isn't a trend far from the truth by the looks of things. Better actors in it too.
George Pal films were so good. The martian death rays in War of the Worlds, the hero fighting the brute in the arena in the film Atlanta's, also the Laser atop the pyramid blasting the wood ships, and the dead Morlock rotting away before George's eyes as his machine moves into the future. That scene was so realistic, especially for the 60's
All right, Barkey! 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 (1960) is one of my favourites. And indeed, you must do a review of 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 (1979), as I've long been fond of that one as well. Thanks, as always!
I still love the 1960 movie, even if it is a bit dated now, and Rod Taylor is wonderful as the Time Traveler. The effects are pretty good, even if they film everything completely on the lot (including a view of a very familiar main street set!) and it shows. I absolutely fell in love with Yvette Mimieux from this film. And to this day, that fantastic sleigh is one of the three most recognized time machines in media (along with the TARDIS and the DeLorean). Bob Burns (Tracey the Gorilla from the Ghost Busters TV series) owns the Time Machine prop today, and it showed up in Gremlins and Carl Sagan's Cosmos. MGM used the Morlock underground set a lot over the next several years, including in a couple of Twilight Zone episodes. I quickly recognized the set in the Fourth Season episode, On Thursday We Leave for Home. In the 80s, they did a kind of "sequel" to the Time Machine set during World War I when George tries to convince Filby to accompany him into the future while avoiding mentioning that Filby is destined to die shortly -- and got Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Whit Bissell to reprise their roles. That was cool. The 2002 remake was such utter crapola though, and I didn't much care for the TV remake either. I did like Time After Time, however. Malcolm McDowell made an interesting HG Wells, and, of course, you can never go wrong with David Warner as the bad guy.
You want to know what would I do with a time machine? I would paint some flames on the hood and put a bunch of cool stickers on it; mostly Ninja Turtle ones.
The 60's version is the best. Closest to the Book of all 3, but it keeps the Fun Element way better than the other 2. 2002 version had to toss in a pointless love/angle that just annoyed me. But if I had The Time Machine, like in the 60s or 2000's version. If I can't travel in Space as well, that is a bit of a hinderance. But one thing I would do. Go buy some Wine and Booze, bury it in my backyard a hundred years ago, then go dig it back up when its good and aged! Fun Stuff like that!
He sometimes appeared on-camera, too. He's the reporter walking around recording his report when they were setting up to drop the atomic bomb on the Martians in "War of the Worlds" (1953).
I've always wanted to go back in time and delete baby Shickle Gruber. He bullied me in elementary school. Probably compensating for having such a weird name.
Stopping George Lucas from signing Starwars over to Disney definitely has merit! But I wouldn't stop there! I'd WARN them about Cathleen Kennedy and show them all of the money they'll lose and how much trouble they'll have getting her out of there.
If I had time machine I'd take out whoever kicked off the trend of saying 'like' after every other word. I know I'm not alone on this so you're welcome.

Ah, The Big Bus was mentioned. I remember really enjoying it when younger. Stupid fun.
Great review of the series Barkey! I loved the 1960 version the best. Thanks.

The baddies looked like a rough draft of Judge Doom in that TV movie.

This is an awesome video! Not only is it entertaining but an informative retrospective and comparison. Keep up the great work 👍
Good job, Barkey!
Find out who stole my bicycle outside of Blockbuster in 2010.
Oh, that was your bike?

i really love the 1960 the most. I love time after time as well glad well review in another great video
Classic movie barkey. I'm trying to mimic your voice because I think it's pretty darn cool.
Another great review. 😊
What would I do? I'd tell my younger self what to do and what not to do.
Also tell me what the future lottery numbers are.
Same!

I would go back and not steal that kids bicycle in 2010, I felt really bad. I just really wanted to get home and watch the movies I rented.
LOL!
Free bike, though.
It's never too late make a time machine,darlings
I have always wondered who belonged to that voice. Thanks.
He sometimes appeared on-camera, too. He's the reporter walking around recording his report when they were setting up to drop the atomic bomb on the Martians in "War of the Worlds" (1953).

Can you admit that the pirates of the carribean films from Jerry bruckheimer and gore verbinski are better than cutthroat island

Same, but for "y'all." So sick of that from people who aren't Southerners or cowboys.
