Fun fact: While Christopher Reeve was filming this movie, the local theater decided to show his latest hit Superman (1978). Many of the "Somewhere" cast joined the locals for the event. Early into the screening, the sound went out. Reeve, who was seated next to Jane Seymour, stood up in the audience and delivered all the lines.
I remember watching this movie with my mom. Years ago, seems like another lifetime ago. We all wish we could go back in time. To change the past, to make up for the future. It's ok, I mean, your not alone. We can't, but if only we could.
That was somewhat common for Victorian and Edwardian women--to stay in mourning for their only love. Queen Victoria did just that for four decades after Prince Albert died. She always dressed in black until her own death in 1901.
Nope. In heaven no one is married. Nor is there any sex. That was just a short hallucination. In reality he’s just buried underground as a rotting corpse
1:40 That moment he discovered he had met Elise after he sees her picture really hits me, and then later at 5:45 when he finds out she knew his favorite music.
People scoff at this movie that it's sentimental, but I think Christopher Reeve's performance elevates it to a really beautiful film. He's wonderful in it and very believable, making the story credible.
@@289cobra9 Yes, the movie was dismissed on release as a 'romance' but it is deeper than that - the time travelling theme is what intrigues. And pardon the pun, but it has stood the test of time - and time is the ultimate test of everything!
I sure miss watchin that movie with my Mama ...she passed away May 2007 right before Mothers Day (May 2nd ) ...her & I always watched old movies together on the weekends or whenever...❤️💔💔
My mother passed in 2018...4 days after mother's day. She was in the hospital on Mother's day and she seemed better than she had been I a while. We took her home that next Tuesday and on Thursday morning around 5:30am she passed....I miss her terribly...😢
@@susanb2015 Some say that the inspiration for Titanic came from this film. Many similarities between the two films! Jack and Richard are time travelers, both, both films take place in 1912. Both films have antagonists, both films end with a dream sequence after death. A penny is mentioned in both films. 🪙🚢🎥🎬
@@susanb2015 Also as you know Reeve and Seymour fell in love during the production. Reeve decided to return to an ex girlfriend who was having his first born. Oddly Jane Seymour was married and divorced 4 times. Does this mean that Reeve is her true soulmate afer all? I know the two remained close friends until his death. The scene with Jane Seymour at the theater talking directing to Reeve unscripted part of the play. Reeve wasn't actually there for the shoot instead the actual arthur of the book was there in his place. Gotta love the magic of editing right?!
My mama and I watched this when I was a teen. We could only watch it once. I am 48, she has passed now, my 26 year old daughter watched it before my mom passed and loved it as well. Him trying to get back to her and dying heartbroken....😢😢😢😢
One of the most romantic films of all time.....❤💏🕰🎬🎼 Somewhere In Time. Christopher Reeves & Jane Seymour, they truly made this film moving with their on screen chemistry. When I think of this film a poem by the British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, published in 1850 comes to mind......I quote " I hold it true, whate'er befall, I feel it when I sorrow most, 'Tis better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all. I truly wish they had made more films like this for the romantics out here!! ❤😊🎻🎬🎼📜✍
For me this is better way better than Titanic...And was 14 when Titanic cane out and i didnt cry like many did .i akways cry for this...this love story more powerful as its through time
I have that music box. It was a dream come true for me. I also have a dress very similar to the white dress on the dress form in the corner of the room. I have worn it, every time, people are amazed at how beautifully made it is.
Every time I go to a library I’m always in Richard Collier mode. I’ve always loved books and I just love the college library culture they depicted so well in this movie. The way he does research on Elise and then eventually figures out who she was is just fascinating
Look close at the scene in the library at 0:14 seconds. The woman you see on the right of the screen is an extra named-- Meg Ryan- in an uncredited early film appearance.
I think i've memorized every scene in this film from watching it over and over on VHS, then on laser disc, then on VCD... Btw, that locket watch is in an eternal loop in the space-time continuum :)
0:58 - Every woman I’ve ever seen this movie with, from my mom when I was a kid in 1980, to my current wife in 2024, has said exactly the same thing: “There’s no way she could’ve said no to Christopher Reeve.”
They should’ve portrayed Mrs Roberts in the scene as Elisa McKenna’s daughter. Who would’ve been the daughter of Richard collier as well. She could’ve been on a late 60s which would’ve made sense which would’ve meant she would’ve been born in about 1913. As it was 1979
At that time, she would have been forced to go abroad, give birth to her baby, and leave it there for adoption, as her career and life as a respectable woman would have been over if it was know that she bore a child out of wedlock.
I think Robinson only pretended to “know” things before they happened to keep Elise under his power and make her think he knew more than he did. As long as he feared every new man she met, she would never get married and give up her career as he feared. Robinson died on the Lusitania - if he really was clairvoyant, he never would’ve boarded that ship.
It made me fearless to cross boundariers or any barriers to love the love of my life. If you can go to the past, you can overcome any obstacle in the present.
@@leoray1234 How about a young William H. Macy scene at the start of the film. He is amongst the crowd just before we get the first shot of Christopher Reeve. 🤗🤔🔍🕵
@@JohnS-il1dr Jane really is a classic beauty! People who I know personally who have met her have said that she is also very kind, funny, warm. When Jane was working to become an actress she changed her name from Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankelberg to Jane Seymour. She has 4 children & has been married then divorced 4 times. She is currently single.
I don't know how to go about this, however, I have this movie in both VCR tape and DVD. You should be able to get this movie, as it is a beautiful classic that should be still available. Here in Beaver County Western Pennsylvania, there is a DVD CD store called FYI still at the mall, even though the malls are all dead these days, that still sells this movie, I've seen it and other copies just like it that are used.
So she gave him the watch right before he goes back in time and it’s all that’s left of him in 1912 when he accidentally goes back to the present. So at what point in time did the watch actually be created?
For me, the watch represents the "magic" that made it possible for Richard to go back in time to meet Elise. But, on the movie set for Somewhere in Time, the crew actually made up t-shirts that said, 'Where'd the watch come from??' :)
I acted in 110-135 films and could I please taste Richard Collier's chest. My lover I have to go back but defeated at Sainte Menholude and I have flaws too! But its Pareey and me too!😂😢😮😊😅 Im Barbara Eden too and a gay boy too and Richard Collier I could be sometimes but I have to go back to SSaine hurst!
You know I have have thought that many times in the 30+ year's that I have been watching this movie. However I think it was more from how driven he was to find out about Elise. Every waking thought, not able to sleep, a pull that he can't understand or explain. It's much like when he woke Arthur up in the middle of the night. He was simply beyond the limits of himself and being polite lol. I definitely get what you're saying though!
Yes, there are a few times of not several that Richard collier came across as a bit pushy and rude , but like the above person said I think we are meant to interpret his assertiveness with his passion to find Elise
My parents saw this movie on their first date! My middle name is McKenna, named from this movie! It will always hold a place in my heart
I can’t watch this movie without weeping like a baby. Truly, movies are not made like this anymore.
Me too and I'm a grown man!
Me too gave me anxiety..losing the one you really love..lost my SON in 2022..hurts so bad..I loved Christopher Reeve. Miss him..
I have adored this movie since I was 7 years old......I am 46 now!
I think I was 6 or 7 when I saw it and fell in love with it. I'm now 38.
Early teens, 50 now.
Same here! I was 8 years old when I've seen it the 1st time. I'm now 44...

I believe this is the best movie I've ever seen in my 64 years on the planet.
Love how he knew how to charm the librarian!
Yes!!! That’s exactly what I said. That known organic charmed was Christopher Reeves - not the character he’s portraying.
Remember card catalogs?
Gosh that music!! It’s completely unforgettable ❤
Just thinking of how she lived the rest of her life in solitude waiting for Richard to come back 😢
That was somewhat common for Victorian and Edwardian women--to stay in mourning for their only love. Queen Victoria did just that for four decades after Prince Albert died. She always dressed in black until her own death in 1901.
I think there is a whole story from her perspective after he vanishes from her life.
Nope. In heaven no one is married. Nor is there any sex. That was just a short hallucination. In reality he’s just buried underground as a rotting corpse

Lost my mother 1 week after Mothers Day 2013. This was one of her favorite movies. First time we saw it was together. Still miss her so much!
@@JulietManxI wanna meet Kurt Schneider, but can't meet skirt steak and miss it!
I saw Titanic and did not move me but this movie blew me away - the beauty of it was outstanding.
It didn't move me. It was horrible and the song was worse. I liked the fiance.

While I was in the Air Force in Michigan I Sat on those very steps and felt very happy. Roger Anthony DeVozza.
Quite possibly the greatest love story of all time....
I am as straight as an arrow yet I will totally admit that Christopher Reeve was one beautiful son of a gun in every way.
I'm a straight guy, but willing to admit he was a real handsome guy!
Same! Not an ounce of “sugar” in me (except towards my wife) but Christopher Reeve was a very handsome fella.
One of the only movies I watched with my late mom, she loved this movie.

No 1 love story on my list.. Ever..
I've always wondered if William Robinson was also a time traveler - He seemed to know things before they happened as Elise once said -
Good one, although believe it was more that one day he knew she would be swept off her feet.
It was theorized that William planted the 1979 penny to get rid of him.
@@JohnS-il1dr Wow! That is awesome! Thanks for the info.

I named my firstborn daughter McKenna because of the role this movie played on my early life
Teresa Wright was fantastic in every film she made.
I love You chris ♥️
Dang, I didn't recognize her before! She was great in Shadow of a Doubt.
It made me fearless to cross boundariers or any barriers to love the love of my life. If you can go to the past, you can overcome any obstacle in the present.
Please do not made a remake/reboot of this movie.. None can replace Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour... Darn that coin...
He was wise to go back in time in America - no reason to venture the future.
01:00 No one says 'No' to Superman 😆
0:13 young meg ryan as an extra sharing the table w/ reeve w/ her back to the camera. at least that's what imdb says
Def looks like her!
