Here we have, yet another 80s time warp film. You should be able to guess early on because none of the actors (including a very young Jim Carrey) are the remotely the same age as their characters. It's cool to see young Nicolas Cage playing a much older man, just a week after seeing Old Nicolas Cage playing a much younger man (in Ghost Rider). With this film, he shows a lot of versatility as an actor, reason again why he's such a star. It's really a must-see for any of his fans.

Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner) is separated from her cheating husband Charlie (Cage). At their high school reunion, Peggy Sue has a freak out and goes back in time, where she has a chance to prevent herself from ever marrying Charlie. But she loves her kids, which is an obvious deal breaker, but she mostly ignores this fact.

Still I think it was a pretty good film, more fun and more relatable than most of the ones on this list. While somewhat lacking in polish and execution, it still manages to hit home. Much like Face/Off, Peggy Sue has a titular scene where she screams "But Peggy Sue Got Married! Peggy Sue Got Married!" and you gotta love it.
