12 Monkeys raises some interesting questions about time travel, including whether you can go back into the past and change the present and whether the same person could coexist with himself at two different ages if he traveled back in time and saw himself. It answers no to the former and yes to the latter.
Event Horizon deals with the prtospect of folding space and traveling across the universe thereby.
I am considering doing a typology of time travel films this summer as my research project...so this is right up my alley.
