Actually, community-hopping in as a fellow longtime fan of the Terminator films, I have to put a point on the poster's side. In Terminator 2, John is ten years old. His birthdate is given on the squad car's computer that the T1000 accesses in the beginning of the film, and Sarah is described by Dr. Silberman as being 29 years old while in Pescadero. It's a detail of a bit of contention because Edward Furlong certainly doesn't seem to play him as ten years old, and yeah, he does appear older in manner and skills.

Considering the amount of argument and theorizing that surrounds even the time-travel aspect of the genre, though... I think it's a small detail in the grand scheme. I mean, how many varying canon Judgment Days are we up to now? Four?

Frequency and Groundhog Day - whilst both awesome films - cannot be classed as time travel films, as technically no-one actually travels through time.

You might have a point with GROUNDHOG DAY . . . uh, then again, maybe not. Bill Murray's character keeps traveling back in time to the beginning of the same day, over and over again. And in FREQUENCY, the voices of both Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel do travel through time via a ham radio. I realize I'm splitting hairs, but . . . well, I'm splitting hairs, but I'm also sticking with my list.

As for TERMINATOR SALVATION, it's my favorite film in the TERMINATOR franchise, even if no one travels through time.

I have changed my mind regarding "TERMINATOR 2". I think I would prefer to list "TERMINATOR" instead of the second film.
