This is a wonderful made-for-CBS movie that, to my knowledge, hasn't played anywhere for at least the last 2 or 3 years, because I've been looking! Based on Twilight Zone's "A Stop At Willoughby," "For All Time" is beautifully fleshed out and lovingly played by all the actors, including Mark Harmon, Mary McDonnell and Bill Cobbs, the magical watch shop proprietor/conductor ***who sets things in motion to change history. Unhappy in his fast-paced job and unsatisfying 15-year marriage, Charlie finds the answer to his dreams when his newly purchased watch gives him an opportunity to start over.*** If you ever notice that it's being replayed, stop whatever you're doing and get your recorder set up - you'll surely want to watch it again and again, as well as share it with your friends. I was thrilled to recently find an old forgotten VHS tape of the copy I made during its 2000 premier and loved it all over again. It was even in stereo, and is now the newest DVD in my dubbed collection! What a shame whoever owns the copyright now hasn't put it out on DVD so the masses can enjoy it.

The main character takes a train to work and after going through a tunnel is transported back 100 years. This is mysterious, but after transferring back and forth several times, he meets a lovely young woman from the 1890's and falls in love with her. But he already has a wife. Then he realizes it will be another 70 years or so before she is born. What does he do? Stay with the new sweetheart who lives in the uncomplicated 1890's, or go back to the faultfinding complainer of the 1990s? The train conductor tells him he's got to make a choice and stick with it. The special thing about this movie is that men will automatically identify with one of the male leads, and women will see a little of themselves in both the wife and sweetheart. I've seen the updated version (Mark Harmon and Morgan Freeman) twice, and would very much like to get a copy for myself. As an aside, my wife recently purchased the British movie "Love Actually" and likes it so much that she's watched it 6 or 7 times. I may do the same thing with "A Stop at Willoughby."
... View MoreAn excellent time travel movie which doesn't need tons of special effects and weird sets to have the spectator riveted to his or her seat. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as the sets were very natural, the story totaly logical and the pricipal characters were both beautiful persons. The story is simple and easy to understand - my only question is why on earth can't one find it anywhere in the world on DVD ??
... View MoreWow! What a great movie! I watched the movie after coming home from classes on 9-11-02 and was feeling so bummed because it was the one year anniversary for the Trade Towers, and this movie came on and it made me happy again. The movie was shown commercial free and all I could think about after I saw it was "man I should of taped it!!!!" I love the fact that that Charles Lattimer (Mark Harmon) didn't do Anything rational with Laura Brown (Mary McDonnell) becuase he was married even though his marriage was crumbling. This movie is very good even though it's a made for TV movie. I think that this movie should be made into tapes and DVD's for everyday enjoyment. The movie is well written and had excellent actors and actresses. Out of a 10 rating i would rate it an 11!!!!
